Boyfriend likes them

I bought the 62g. I was looking for something different and I love the colour. They were a bit too heavy for me, personally. My boyfriend loved them.

Good looking and great if lubed

It is a great switch but needs some lube as it is kinda scratchy when not lubed so overall it is a very nice option

Love the colors

this product caught my eye with the amazing colors. I also love the sound after lubing, before lubing a bit scratchy but that's ok I just lubed them up.

Great switches once modded

I hurt my hands from lubing 110 of these bad boys. While a very pretty set of switches with their colors, the Gateron Milky Yellows give you more bang for your buck. I chose this set of switches to compliment my PBT Islander set. As for quality, I had a couple of concerns out of the box. A few more pins were bent than I anticipated, but that could just be shipping. The switches were scratchier than I liked out of the box and there was a little bit of spring ping. Nothing that Krytox can't fix. Once I got them into my TKC1800, they sounded... decent. After tape modding my PCB, life was good once more. I'm three days into using these switches, and I think they're starting to sound a lot better as the lube is spreading around.

A good switch, little scratchy

I liked these, but they need a little lube to take away the scratchiness, IMO. The color is good look.

OK Switches

Basic switches that definitely benefit from lubing however you can get more from budget switches that are out there today.

Needs To Be Modded

I lubed and filmed these switches once with plastic films and 205g0 on everything including the spring. It just was not to my expectations for the lingest times until I finally felt like tackling them again. This time I used Deskeys films, 205g0 on the stem and leaf, and 105 for the springs and theyre So much better than my first time. Granted I’ve come a long way from when I first started so that helped as well. The tolerances and wobble has gone down drastically, and the sound is much more balanced overall. There’s no unwanted sounds from the soring or leaf anymore. It’s not the best switch out there, but it’s good and it does need to be modded.
