Owlab London Fog Linear Switch

Introduction

Following the success of their popular Neon switch, Owlab introduced their third linear offering in 2023 - the London Fog. Differing from the Tungstens and Neons that came before it, the London Fog is manufactured by BSUN, and sits in between the two in terms of overall feel and sound pitch. Unlike other brands which typically stick to one manufacturer for all their switch designs, Owlab likes to vary the manufacturers and put out the very best of what each manufacturer has to offer. While the JWK-manufactured Tungsten has a nice and satisfying thock signature of JWK nylon, the SWK-manufactured Neon on the other hand has incredible smoothness and a unique box-style stem assembly for virtually zero wobble. Now, we have the London Fogs - having BSUN’s distinctly tight housings and stable push feel.

Think of the London Fog as a good neutral switch, smooth push feel thanks to a light layer of factory lube, a meaty yet comfortable 60g spring weight, and a nice clean sound without being too clacky or deep. The London Fog really is a switch for everyone, a choice you cannot go wrong with.

If you’re looking for a no-frills linear switch with a clean sound and smooth push feel, this switch is for you.
