Well worth the price
These switches are well worth the price if you're willing to put a bit of time into filming them. Like T1s, and presumably other switches from durock or everglide, the top housing is a bit loose and it makes them sound very rattly and kind of unpleasant in stock form. They benefit a lot from switch films. I've still yet to try a full board of them but assembling some in a switch tester (lubed with 205g00, springs bag lubed with TX oil), sound is much improved, though nothing to write home about. They still have a very slight metallic twang to them that I assume must be some sort of reverb from the leaf, as it sounds very different from spring ping and can only be heard at the peak of the bump. This makes them slightly higher pitched than you'd expect, but it's not a bad sound.
As I stated elsewhere, there is a very light coating of clear oil on the stems, and some of the legs had small droplets of it that I wiped off when lubing (as I feared it might compromise tactility, though I didn't actually test this). It's nothing like the drop HP gunky factory lube job, and can largely be ignored if you're doing your own lube job.
In terms of general comments on the switch feel, the tactility is great. It's right at the top, crisp yet still rounded. Basically identical to T1s in that regard, though the sliders are slightly different so evidently they're not direct copies. Despite the size of the bump, and the spring weight being on the lighter side, the springs are slightly cushy/progressive, making it fairly easy to actuate them without bottoming out. For people who care about wobble, there's a bit less than average. I also want to note that keycap fit is totally fine, if anything it's on the snug side.
Overall they seem like a great switch, especially for the price, but probably not the best for people who keep their switches stock, unless you're not really fussed on sound.

rudbearTX or thicker, honestly. I haven't tried it but I know some people even use two TX films. There are also the 3d printed Thicc films that apparently work well with jwk linears.

The only others tactile switches that I own (and tried) are Halo Clear, Holy Pandas and Yok Purple Trash Pandas.
Compared to these three I think I prefer the tactility of the Oreo switches.
They kinda feel like the Holy Pandas but slightly lighter. As the guy who made them intended I think.
Maybe you want to lube them as they are sometimes "scratchy" but nothing crazy.
Pcb mount, cool transparent black color. Those are neat switches. Really glad with my purchase.

Affordable Bumps | Just what I was looking for
Overall impressions:
- Has a similar bump to Holy Pandas (at least the ones from a recent Drop).
- Smokey housing looks nice and lets a reasonable amount of led light through.
- Sounds slightly more high pitched in comparison to Holy Panda.
- Housing and stem tolerance is good. Keycaps fit snug & housing clips snugly into plate.
- Not Pingy at all.

Seriously Impressed
I'm not a keyboard reviewer, but I am an enthusiast with a pretty extensive switch collection. And. I gotta say these are my new favorite tactile switch. The bump is soft but pronounced and the weighting is nice with a slighty weightier bottom out. For typing I choose these switches over some stuff competition.

I was corrected by Chinspike below. They are lubed with a light clear oil. Sorry for the misinformation. These are great switches especially for the price!

I lubed them myself. The same as I lube all of my other switches. All they do is stick at the bottom and take a couple of seconds to come back up. I haven’t touched them since.

Great value and quite usable out of the box
Have you ever started a keyboard build and just needed to throw on some decent tactile switches in order to kick the tires, but don't feel like committing several hours to lubing first or raiding your daily driver or "finished" boards for switches? Well, if you're like me (and I know I am), Everglide Oreos will do nicely.
So that you know where I am coming from, my personal favorite switches are Zealios v2's, but at twice the price (and absolutely crap in stock, non-lubed form) I went looking for an alternative for experiments. I found that with the ever-so-light factory lubing Oreos have and the shape of their tactile bump, they will do the job for me on a lot of projects right out of the box. By comparison, I recently also tried Halo Clears and found the tactile event to be lacking.
With the release of the Boba U4 and U4T, there are now more fantastic tactile options on the market at a similar price point, but I'll make two points about that. First, I prefer the Oreo's slight quieter volume level over the U4T. I get it, the U4T is designed to be, shall we say, acoustically assertive, but I haven't warmed up to it yet. Second, for projects for which LEDs are important, you'll get more light transmission with the Oreos than the Bobas.
In all, I'm giving five stars not because they are my favorite switches ever, but because of what you get for the price.
BTW, who new that Everglide Oreos pair up great with Everglide black transparent stabs? Okay, probably a lot of people, but I hadn't planned on this pairing in advance, so I was pleasantly surprised when I started this numpad/macropad build:

Probably one of my favorite switches ever
I think what makes this switch so good isn't even necessarily the switch, it's also the price. The switch looks and sounds awesome with a very satisfying typing feel. The tactile bump is straight to the point with hardly any pre-travel before the bump. The bump is very pronounced and after filming and lubing the switch, it literally turns into a monster of a switch. This is definitely a switch that you need to own, especially for the price it's asking

Fantastic tactile switches at a reasonable price
These are one of my favorite tactile switches. I spring swapped with Krytox GPL105 lubed 62g SPRIT springs, filmed with Kebo switch film, and lubed with Krytox GPL203g0 for an ultra smooth, perfectly tactile, satisfying and not obnoxiously loud typing sound. Even with the added cost of the SPRIT springs, these switches are a great value and fine alternative to Zealios or Holy Pandas.

These are really fun to type on. Quick and responsive, and there is no extra-distance to push once you've gotten over the tactile bump. I enjoy the light feel of the switch, while it still feels responsive enough to feel like I'm doing something. The noise isn't exactly consistent from key to key, but the feel is pretty consistent. The spacebar also doesn't sound great by default; I'll have to tinker to find a way to make it less clanky.
The main issue I had was that some of the switches weren't quite strong enough to lift my spacebar, and it was driving me nuts. I was checking to see if there was an issue with my stabilizers or keycaps before trying other switches. The spacebar would essentially get stuck on the bottom of the bump, meaning the key would be left half-pressed. Sometimes it just meant that my typing would be interrupted. Other times it would read as a held spacebar, inserting too many spaces between my words.
Overall, the switches are great, but just make sure to find a switch with a stronger spring to use for the spacebar.

holy panda killer
holy pandas compared to these are linear. oreos sound much much better and have a very snappy and pleasant bump. there's also no need for filming these, but i'd like them to be a tad more smooth (since they come prelubed)
