Gateron Black INK V2 Switches

Why are the Inks so much more pricier? Inks are the premium line of switches under Gateron. The Ink housing versus milky housing…. everyone’s experience is different, but I would say the Inks give off a thockier sound profile than the milky’s.  Main difference would definitely be how smooth it is as STOCK. Gateron does not specify what the housing material is, but I would believe the plastic (housing) has a lower co-efficient of friction because of how smooth the stroke is.  These switches come lightly pre-lubed. You can lube over.
