The milky top housing gives these a slightly deeper, fuller sound than standard clear-top Gaterons. I was surprised how consistent the factory lube is across all 110 switches, right out of the bottle.
Installed these in my daily board and the smoothness straight out of the box surprised me—no scratchiness at all. I also appreciate that the milky housing makes the RGB look softer and more diffused compared to clear switches.
The sound of these is so satisfying—that deep, creamy thock is exactly what I wanted for my keeb. They’re smooth right out of the box with no scratchiness, and 110 switches is plenty for a full build with some spares. Definitely my new go-to linear.
Put these in my hotswap board last night, and the factory lube is surprisingly consistent—no scratchiness even straight out of the bag. The milky housing gives them a slightly deeper, fuller sound profile compared to clear switches. Definitely the smoothest stock linear I've tried under a dollar per switch.
The milky housing really softens the sound compared to standard switches, and the 110 count is perfect for a full build plus some extras. No scratchiness at all, just a nice smooth keystroke right from the start.
Smooth as butter right out of the box, and the milky housing gives it a warm, diffused glow that’s surprisingly satisfying. I’ve only used them for a week, but the bump is more pronounced than I expected for a linear switch.
The housing has a nice, slightly textured feel that I wasn't expecting, and the sound is deeper and more satisfying than the clicky switches I had before. Installed them in my hotswap board and haven't had a single issue.
I was worried about the price per switch, but the smoothness right out of the box is remarkable—no wobble at all. The included bottle is a nice touch for storing extras. These feel lighter and more responsive than the cheap ones I had before.
Finally, a switch that feels both smooth and stable — the wobble is almost nonexistent compared to my old ones. I’ve been typing on them for a week and the factory lube seems consistent across all 110 pieces. That bottle of extras is a nice touch for hot-swap boards.
Swapped these into my keyboard last night and the sound is noticeably deeper and more satisfying than my previous switches. The 110-count bottle is a nice touch, makes it easy to store the extras without losing them.
