After only a year of use, these otherwise excellent switches are beginning to stick/repeat (press f, get fff) and occasionally fail to even register. I'm not mad, just disappointed.
I just love how they feel. Good thock sound. Busted one while installing in my numpad but that's on me. Bought lubed as I didn't want to deal with it myself this time - a little pricey for the quantity. I would absolutely not call them quiet, but they are quieter than most other tactiles.
If willing to pay the price to have the certainty of a consisten manual lube job, this will fulfill that. Had to knock a star off as price could be a little less considering the availability of plenty prelubed options, albeit, not by hand, but also consistent.
Great switches for someone looking for a quiet yet tactile switch
As the title says, these switches are kind of a cross between linears and tactiles. The sound they have is a quiet lower frequency noise and is great for using in the office.
I've used 66 of the 70 I purchased but unfortunately, 3 of those 66 switches came broken. I fixed one (a copper prong was damaged), but the other two don't seem salvagable. Dissapointing considering the price and quality these are supposed to be. I suspect something went awry during the hand-lubing process done by DROP. I recommend the switches, but there's a risk getting them hand-lubed.
