The factory lube on these is surprisingly consistent — not a single switch feels scratchy out of the box. Installed them on my hotswap board and the deeper, clackier sound is exactly what I was hoping for.
After swapping these in, the typing sound is deeper and more satisfying than any other switch I've tried. The 70g actuation feels perfectly weighted for my heavy-handed style. No complaints so far.
