Gateron Black Ink Linear Switch

I've tried these in a couple of boards that I have and so far they haven't found a home yet but I know that one day they will. These switches are great if you like heavier, deep sounding switches. Not as deep as the FLCMMK Ice Mints but they have more of a pop. I would recommend lubing these switches as they are not that great stock but, to me at least, filming is optional. I did not notice much of a difference after filming. I'm assuming that they are V2 but I wish that CK would put that in the description just to be sure.

I was worried about these being overhyped because everybody speaks so highly of them, but after lube and film, the hype definitely holds up. These are flippin' AMAZING after you put some work into it. It's like typing on clouds with such a pleasing deep sound.

Disclaimer: These are not good in stock form. I repeat, if you're not going to L&F, don't buy these.

I absolutely love my Black Ink's!! I find myself always coming back to my boards that have the black inks. Not only is the sound profile fantastic, but also has a very satisfyingly smooth feel. I highly recommend trying out some Black Ink's you won't be disappointed!

I found the batch of Inks i received to have a bit of leaf tick that was pretty hard to get rid of. Other than that, pretty smooth out of the box and took well to lube and films.
