Was worried these might feel too stiff, but the box design keeps the stem rock-solid stable with zero wobble. Lubed them up and the tactile bump is incredibly crisp without being fatiguing.
The long-pole stem gives a really distinct, snappy bottom-out feel that I haven't gotten from other tactiles I've tried. They're a bit heavier than expected, but that actually made my typing feel more deliberate and satisfying.
Installed these in my keeb and the tactile bump is exactly what I was looking for—crisp but not harsh. The box stem design makes them super stable, no wobble at all. A solid upgrade from my previous linears.
I was blown away by the factory lubrication on these—it’s consistent across every switch and makes them feel buttery smooth right out of the box. The 45-switch pack was perfect for my TKL build, and the stems are rock-solid with zero wobble.
The tactile bump is really pronounced, which I love for typing, and the bottom-out feels solid without being harsh. They’re noticeably smoother than my last batch of switches right out of the box.
Installed these in my daily board and the box stem design makes them incredibly stable with no wobble at all. The tactile feedback is crisp without being too heavy for longer typing sessions.
Finally, a switch that feels as smooth as it sounds—the deep, creamy tone when bottoming out is incredibly satisfying. The 67g spring is perfect for my heavy typing style, giving a nice bounce without being fatiguing.
I was a bit skeptical about the weight, but these have a really satisfying, snappy tactile bump that feels almost mechanical without being too heavy for long typing sessions. The box stem also makes them super stable, which I noticed immediately when I swapped my old switches.
Finally, a switch that feels truly tactile without that annoying grating noise. The return spring is snappy enough for fast typing but not so stiff that my fingers get tired after an hour. Already ordered another set for my home keyboard.
The longer stem travel actually makes a noticeable difference for me when gaming — much more controlled bottom-out. I've been swapping these in on my daily board and haven't felt the need to lube them yet.
