A collaboration between EVE and Gateron, the Robin custom mechanical switches are a linear treat to type on. Available in 62- and 67-gram weights, these switches take their name—and colorway—from the smooth teal tones of a robin’s egg Read More

Lubed? I opened them up and found no lube anywhere. They're very scratchy, more so than the usual stock Black/Yellow Gats. They look good and once lubed, there's nothing wrong with Gaterons, but still...

Just got them in today. Kind of a let down. They feel like Novelkey's dry/silk yellows but more scratchy. Said it was factory lubed but opened a few and they were dry (this isn't a bad thing tho cause factory lubed switches are really bad and inconsistent). Tried many different ways of lubing with krytox206g0, did not like the sound or feel on it at all and used deskeys filmed and it made the stem wobble even worst so use a thinner film or don't use one at all.

SicemisIn general I would agree with you. Quite scratchy stock. The two I opened up were also dry. Lubed & filmed, they are okay, but against the other options we have today (JWK linears, gat inks, etc.) they don't hold up. Disappointed.

SicemisHave to agree with you, mine also came in today, dry. Don't know how to describe the feel but definitely not my cup of tea, very light press and loose with high pitched sound even after lubing with Trybosis. (Although my wife loving them for the feel being so light) To me even Everglides purples are so much better than these. I guess its all matter of preference, I might try to switch stems for more tactile bump or spring.
EDIT: Switched springs to 67g and filmed them. Now they are ok to me, still light but much more pronounced.

CathogaYep I got it too. Looks like we'll be waiting longer than expected. Hopefully not 1+ month(s), but we will see!

Im going to be building my own first custom keyboard in the future, I dont have funds to buy all the parts at once. Should i purchase these now or will there be some for purchase at a later time?

MazumaxCannonat least if you want these specific ones you should, I'm not sure if they are going to be available soon after the drop ends (and I don't think so)

wowremyMassdrop, just sell ultra sonic cleaners at the same time as your switches and rake in the mula.

neemajonLubed Tealios are you there for the best linear switches, so no. Not worth changing them for these.

What’s the bottom of the housing made of? I read on reddit that it was nylon, and that this switch basically used the same material as alpaca. Anyone know?
