Smooth as butter right out of the box, with just a hint of resistance that makes typing feel precise. The housing is so tight there's zero wobble even on my wobbly keycaps.
The bottom-out feel is incredibly satisfying—dense and smooth without any annoying scratchiness. They’re noticeably quieter than the reds I had before, which is a nice bonus for late-night typing sessions.
Installed these in my daily driver and the factory lube is applied evenly, no scratchiness at all. The weighting feels just right for both typing and gaming, not too heavy on long sessions.
Finally a smooth linear that doesn't feel scratchy out of the box—these are noticeably quieter than my previous switches too. The heavier bottom-out takes some getting used to, but for typing, the stability is fantastic.
I was a bit worried they'd be too heavy for typing, but the smoothness straight out of the box surprised me—no scratchiness at all. The bottom-out sound is a nice, deep thock that makes each keystroke satisfying. Definitely my new go-to for a linear switch.
The pre-lubed feel on these is incredible right out of the box, and the smooth linear travel makes typing a dream. Only took about a week to break them in, but now they’re buttery quiet with a satisfying deep clack.
The dampened bottom-out on these is exactly what I needed; they feel substantial without being harsh. Lubed them myself and they're now even smoother than stock. 110 pack was the perfect amount for my full-size build.
Was looking for a smooth linear that didn't feel scratchy out of the box, and these delivered with zero wobble on the stem. The factory lube job is actually consistent, so I didn't have to do any extra work before building.
The bottom-out feel is incredibly solid, almost like typing on a well-cushioned surface. I've been using them for a week and the smoothness hasn't worn off at all.
Putting these in my keyboard was the first time I didn’t feel the need to re-lube switches right out of the box; the factory application is just that smooth and even. They’ve got a deep, buttery bottom-out sound that makes typing feel incredibly solid. Definitely my new go-to linear for daily driving.
