Product Description
With a reflective dark-green colorway and smooth linear travel, Candy’s Jade Green mechanical switch is a gem—in more ways than one. Equal parts crown jewel and keyboard component, it features a transparent green housing that brilliantly scatters light, as well as a complementary light-green stem and a gold-plated stainless steel spring Read More

These are surprisingly nice
I’m not going to lie: I bought these because the color matched my keyboard case, and I wasn’t expecting much. However, they have a nice deep sound and feel so smooth!
I fully lubed the casing and springs before testing, so please keep that in mind, but I love the sound in my polycarbonate case. Two switches were dead, though, which is disappointing. I’ll have to see if it was my fault or the actual switches later. Glad I bought these! I just need to find better matching keycaps. I used the iron man ones, and it looks terrible with the colors. Lol.
EDIT: The dead switches were definitely my fault. So no dead switches! I just bent the pins.

Nice feeling linear, good price
This feel pretty nice and light. Lighter than I was expecting but I think I'm just not used to linears. Good price and look really cool .
Update: These are incredibly smooth when lubed.

Very unique, but definitely need lube
These are probably the most unique switches I own. They have a very long spring, about 50% longer than most other switches I’ve seen, and the stem is designed in such a way that the side pieces that slot into the slider rails of the housing don’t actually hit the bottom of the switch. As a result the switch is very quiet on the downstroke and has a nice clack on the upstroke. There’s a little bit of scratch stock, but they’re nice with just a little krytox.

Joey_SpacebarCan confirm. These are smooth out of the box, but they sound pretty rough until lubed.
I have some comparison sound tests in this overview video of the KK Lightwave V2, which is the same switch aside from the spring:

Great switches but rough until lubed.
They feel great and has fast return. But better be lubed before using it.

Not the switch I was expecting.
It's all preference, but be aware these switches have a unique stem design with plastic "feet" at the bottom in an attempt to create a soft bottom-out feel. At the time of purchase the listing made no mention of this feature nor included a photo of that aspect. To me that feature was unpleasant to type on, just felt less solid.
In addition I found them to have a fairly high amount of stem wobble, and their MX clips for opening were sized just slightly narrower that my existing opening tools really struggled to get under them.
I considered hanging onto them to perhaps try a different stem or use them for frankenswitch parts, but the difficulty of opening them made even that prospect unappealing.
Fortunately due to "not advertised" stem feature, DROP was able to facilitate a return/refund. So overall positive experience, but not due to the switches.

clickykbdGood move on the return if you didn't like them. Due to the unique design of the stems the housings seem to have slightly different dimensions and have tolerance issues with other stems (although I've only tried a couple of gateron stems). They get a little stuck about half way through the keystroke and almost feel like tactiles despite being linear stems.

Decent when Lubed
Out of box they sound alright, but would highly recommend lubing them.

Decent if you can get them cheap or will lube
The feel of the switches are fine, need lubing. They don't aren't as good as my budget benchmark(gateron yellows) in feel or smoothness.

Cheap and fine
Few came in bent and as other reviews state they definitely need to be lubed to be great. They sound generally "generic", while having a unique blandness - not wholly in a bad way if that makes any sense.
Cheap, bulk, it is what it is (except for the bent ones that should never be okay)
