More than just a tactile version of the Oil King: the Yellow brings in many of the improvements Gateron has made over the last few years. The factory lube is clean and well-dosed, and the bump is heavy and clearly felt, with around 70gf at bottom-out. The sound is livelier than the original Oil King, yet the same Ink bottom housing keeps a distinctive fullness to it. Combined with the nylon PA66 top, you get a powerful, well-defined tactile that never turns shrill. A strong pick if you love heavy tactiles with a full sound.
