It does exactly what it says it does, but there's a pinging noise from the spring

It's pretty scratchy when you first get them, but that goes away after a while. The spring makes a pinging noise. You'll hear some vibration from the spring for about half a second if you pause after typing a sentence. Other than this, good switches.

Scratchy stock

Very scratchy stock, and even still slightly so with a fairly thick coat of lube. Springs are on the heavy side, and don't feel the best.

Probably my favorite switch

Honestly, most people complain about the heavier spring, but that is the part I love most. They are sufficiently tactile and have a nice, heavy feel. Once lubed, they become the perfect switch for me and the actuation force needed feels snappy but not too sharp. I’m not your average gamer (or a gamer in general), so take this with a grain of salt.

scratchy AF

I thought they were just rumors, but when I get to try them, they are really scratchy you could actually hear it. It's the stems that are so scratchy, I replaced the stems with Zealios stems, the scratchiness is almost gone.

Exactly what I was looking for.

I haven't found anything that I like as well as clears and the fact that these support backlights is HUGE! I wasn't sure about them and now I just wish I had ordered more.

They feel great overall. However, I have fatigue in my pinkies after hours of typing. Overall, recommend if your pinkies are strong or if you don't use pinkies when typing.

Work great, as expected

I got these because my GMMK RGB keyboard seemed a little dim with my non-transparent Glorious Panda Switches (even with the window in the switch). These did the job and the lighting effect on my keyboard is much brighter now, and I can read the shine-through keycaps easier. I this board I can also see the switch housing itself between the keycaps, so now get to see the color of the LED there, instead of just a plain off-white plastic color. Overall a huge upgrade vs. non-transparent switches. I almost deducted a star because several of the switches in the box came with bent prongs that I was unable to fit into my modular keyboard, but they sent enough extra in the box (even for my full-size) that it wasn't a problem at all. For the switch itself, I can compare to cherry brown and Glorious Panda switches. They're obviously more firm/heavy than the browns, which is what I was looking for. Relative to the Pandas, I'd say the feel very similar off the top of the switch, meaning there is zero pre-travel before the tactile bump, and similar amount of force needed to push through the tactile bump. I'd say the Glorious Panda's have less resistance after the bump (they practically fall down to the keyboard), while these clear's still have some weight to them even after the bump - I'd say a "normal" feeling amount of weight (while the Panda's felt unusually light after the bump).
