Beat my Expectations
I bought the coral red switches just because it was so cheap, but when I got it I was really surprised! The switches were sooooooo smooth! They're as smooth as my Gateron Inks, but you really have to TRY in order to feel the difference between the two switches. The only downside is that when the bag of switches reached me, there was 6 switches with broken contacts.

Great smooth switches, better stock than lubed!!
Received my everglide amber orange linear switches 2 days ago in Singapore. Since then I’ve tried lubing a few of them with krytox 204g0, 203g0, 204g00. The springs with krytox oils 103 and 104. What surprised me was that after lubing them with 203g0 and 204g00, they actually feel more scratchy than stock. With thicker lube like 204g0, they feel smooth, but the clacky sound and snappy feeling of the switch press feels very muted, then it just feels the same as my gateron blacks lubed with 204g0. I’ve tried just lubing the spring with 104 oil and leaving the stem and housing unlubed. When compared to the stock switch (everything unlubed). I honestly could not feel nor hear any difference. I know this is very dependent on a typist’s own preferences on switch feel, but I feel these amber orange everglide linear switches are best left stock and unlubed. At stock they feel plenty smooth and snappy, and the gold plated springs don’t have much ping to them and even feels and sound exactly the same after oiling them. When I tested for switch wobble they fare alright, there is a slight wobble but still much more stable compared to older linear switches from like 2 years back. The only gripe I have is that at stock, the clacks of the switch presses feel very plasticy and kind of cheap sounding. If so lubing them with slightly thicker lube like krytox 204g0 makes the plasticy sounds muted. Overall very satisfied with this switch.

Fate25Def agree on the plasticy sound. Used 205g2 + 105 mix on the pink and they sound much better.

Picked up a set of the Jade Green (tactile) switches and swapped them into my KBD67 that was previously using Gateron Browns (also tactile). Pretty subtle change from the Gaterons, but as far as I can tell so far, the Jade Green does what it says on the tin, being just a bit heavier, with possibly a slightly "crisper" feel to the bump around the actuation point. Every switch I installed (68 of 110) worked fine. Several had contacts askew, but that's to be expected when switches are bumping into each other in a bag, and they all straightened out fine by hand.

Solid value proposition
These are not a 5- these are a solid 4.5 when you factor in the price ($.41) per switch. They’re not as great as inks let alone anything better, but at that price they do handily stomp stock Cherry or even Gateron switches. As something that still fits into budget-land these are better than they could be. YMMV about the drama from the history of this source, but if you want something a tad bit better (especially if you’re new to building) or if you’re building for someone who doesn’t want to spend a bunch of cash, these are a good spot to aim for.

Decent switches
Received the Jade Green tactiles (70 pieces). Felt pretty good unlubed, but sound wasn't great. After lubing and adding switch films they feel and sound much better. They feel somewhat like 65g Zealios V1 (never tried V2s). Overall, pretty satisfied.

Smooth, tactile and comfortable
A little less tactile than Crystal Violet and Oreo (that I also have) and the tactile bump starts about half a millimetre to a millimetre down on the down stroke. The don't feel like they will get stuck on the upstroke as the Crystal Violet and Oreo. More similar to the Zelios v1 than v2, which I think is a good thing since I think the Zelios v2 has a bit too pronounced tactility with a weak spring. I find these very comfortable to type on and they are very smooth.

Oreo have a slightly rounder bump that Crystal Violet, especially on the upstroke. If you stay for the upstroke the Crystal Violet really feels like they is going to get stuck. Other than that I think that they are very similar. Tactile bump right at the top. Similar spring weight. I hold Oreo as just a tad better but I am honestly not a fan of any of them.

Good price for switches to play with
I got greens and pinks. They are exactly how I thought they would be. I'm newer to the scene so I'm just getting a feel for everything, but I definitely would describe the greens as similar but crisper than browns. Looking forward to lubing them and see how they work out over time.

Everglide Jades are a viable light tactile
Everglide Jades are an underrated sleeper of a switch that more manufacturers need to emulate. They seem to be using the RARA stem, I'm not sure, it's some kind of medium-tactile. And a housing that isn't the most tactile, I think it's normally used for linears. What it produces is a switch that's a little more tactile than MX Brown, with a very nice spring weight. They're easy and pleasant to type on, and make for a very good custom build. The only problem with them is that they are kind of chittery-sounding out-of-the-box. So lubing them is a must. You can use 3204 in whatever quantity you want, springs need lubing as well. Then, they become one of the best-feeling and best-sounding light tactiles that there is. I could have saved a lot of time and money going straight to these. I understand that switches like this are coming into style again, and that is a good thing. I hope RARA V2 and others are good successors.

Everglide Sakuras - Solid Budget Linear
Having tested these switches for a couple weeks, I can solidly say that the Everglide Sakura switches are very smooth with a very light, but satisfying spring. Out of the bag, I was super surprised at how smooth these were to begin with (since they are pre-lubed) and I even lubed over one with 205g0 to compare lubed v.s. stock and I actually preferred the stock switch. Comparing them to Lubed Novelkeys Creams, they are miles smoother since these switches technically are a JWK linear (which is basically smooth no matter what). When lubed with Krytox 205g0 the sound is very muted, but honestly with the pre-lube these come with, I would say you wouldn't even need to lube over it unless you really feel like it. However, these switches aren't for everybody. Since the spring is very light, many times you may accidentally actuate/press a switch due to the small weight these contain. Furthermore, the sound is a "clack" rather than a "thock" that many people in this hobby prefer. If you're looking for some smooth and light switches and like clackiness more than thockiness, these switches are perfect for you. Edit: Since these are JWK linears, it's heavily recommended to film these since the housing with these types of switches tend to be very loose.

Switches are mediocre
Switch housings are rattly and aren't all that great in comparison to other options.
