Neo Oat Linear Switch — Smooth. Refined. Effortlessly Satisfying.
Meet the Neo Oat Linear Switch, a meticulously engineered linear switch designed for keyboard enthusiasts who crave a smooth, buttery typing experience with a rich, full-bodied sound profile. Crafted in collaboration with Keygeek, the Neo Oat combines premium materials, precision tolerances, and expert factory lubrication to deliver a switch that feels as good as it sounds.
From the first keystroke, you’ll notice the whisper-smooth actuation — light and fluid, with an actuation force of roughly 36 g and a satisfying bottom-out at 45 g. This perfect balance provides both responsiveness and comfort, letting you glide effortlessly through long typing sessions or fast-paced gaming without fatigue. The 3.6 mm total travel distance and 2.0 mm pre-travel ensure a snappy and consistent feel with every press, maintaining that classic full-travel experience that linear lovers adore.
Engineered with a PA66 top housing and PA6 bottom housing, the Neo Oat maintains tight tolerances that minimize stem wobble and deliver a solid, stable feel across the board. Its L4 POM stem glides seamlessly within the housing, producing a muted, creamy sound signature that many describe as “thocky” — deep, rich, and satisfying rather than sharp or plasticky. It’s the kind of sound that makes every press feel intentional.
The Neo Oat comes factory-lubed with high-grade lubricants such as GPL105 and GPL205, ensuring effortless smoothness right out of the box. This professional lubrication process minimizes scratchiness, eliminates ping, and gives each switch that polished glide typically achieved only through hours of manual modding. Whether you’re a newcomer to the mechanical keyboard world or a seasoned builder, you’ll appreciate the ready-to-use refinement of these switches.
