Excellent switches, but price increase is a downer
I have these on two of my keyboards. These are amongst the best tactiles that I have tried. They have a distinct bump near the top of the press, with a fair amount of after-travel, very smooth motion and great thocky sound even out of the box. Lubing made little difference in smoothness, but the thockiness and consistency of the sound did respond well to filming and lubing, even though there was very little apparent case wobble. One minor gripe is that the activation point is distinctly after the tactile bump, so if you are using the bump to try to detect activation and train yourself to type lightly and stop during after-travel without bottoming out, there is a risk of not activating the switch, and this happened to me a few times. Still, I would rank these in the top tier of tactiles. However, I also bought them before the latest price increase, which almost doubled the cost per switch, and at this price, I will probably not buy any more. Their main competitors are probably the Baby Kangaroos (fairly similar), and the Voyager (more tactile with almost no after-travel, though clackier), and both of those switches are now more economical。

ya gonna wanna lube
these switches are great! easy to disassemble/re-assemble, (no more or less than the average, but I'm glad it wasn't a struggle) but they don't sound great without lube. whether it be a modest amount for a bit more smoothness, or an excessive amount because I meant to buy linear switches- they'll sound (and feel) 10x better with lube.

Good after some work
I got these switches because I wanted a decent tactile for typing. They're good so far! They definetely needed some lubing, they were a bit scratchy out of the box.

A must lube
search
These are great switches and definitely a better deal than buying the hand lubed version by DROP. However i think they absolutely have to be lubed. Lubing greatly reduces the scratchyness and spring sound to almost none.

Extremely high rate of defective caps
I really like these caps, they feel great, sound great, but a ton of them are defective. They double input, or if I'm holding the key "flicker" on and off. As nice as they feel, actually using them on a daily basis is a terrible experience. Some of them are defective right when I put them on, and others begin having these issues after days or weeks of use. I'm tired of having to get out my switch puller tool and swap them out over and over again. I just want my keyboard to work when I sit down at it. At this point if another key starts failing I won't have any left to replace it with - over 10 keys have been defective.

Good, subtle tactile bump.
Got these to pair with the CSTM80 and have really enjoyed these switches. The tactile bump on this switch is fairly light, which is a great feel for me since this is my first keeb out side of out-of-the-box stuff from the typical companies. Typing is actually enjoyable now. Have not had any issues with keycaps falling off the stems while typing. On top of this, only a couple weeks after I made my purchase and built my keeb, this switch went on sale for 45% off. I reached out to the customer support line and had a refund for the difference within 24 hours. Nothing but positives for this switch and my experience.

Keys pop off these stems
These stems have a little chunk cut out of them which causes keys to pop off when typing. I reported this to DROP and explained my keys pop off their stems all the time, requesting a solution. They told me the missing chunk was intentional and not a design flaw and they had no solution. Don’t buy these switches. Keys pop off them after a very short amount of use. They’re junk.

Good Switch for RGB, not quite as tactile as I'd like
Nice switches, but not quite as tactile as I'd like. They worked out really well in a fully clear macropad
