The sound on these is super clean and consistent—a noticeable step up from what I was using. The light from my RGB build really shines through the clear housing perfectly. Paired with some krytox, they feel buttery smooth right out of the box.
Finally, a linear switch that actually feels smooth right out of the box. The factory lube is just right—no scratchiness at all, even before breaking them in.

Finally a switch that feels both smooth and stable—the factory lubrication is just right, no extra work needed. Put them in my daily board and the sound is a clean clack without any high-pitched ping.
The heavier spring weight gives a satisfying bump without tiring my fingers out after long typing sessions. The clear stem and housing catch the light perfectly, making my build look clean even without shine-through keycaps.
The translucent housing really makes the RGB pop, and the factory lubing is smooth enough that I didn't feel the need to add any more. Typing feels incredibly consistent across all 110 switches too.
