No, these switches come factory-lubed, providing a smooth, refined feel and consistent sound profile right out of the box.
The 43g operating force is considered light to moderate, making these switches ideal for long typing sessions or fast-paced gaming where you want to minimize finger fatigue.
The POM stem offers low friction for a smoother keystroke, while the Nylon housing helps produce a deeper, more pleasant sound profile compared to harder plastics.
