Great Overall
Recommend lubing the switches for best sounding and feeling but overall love my green switches

Would recommend to a friend.
Best budget switches
I bought Gateron Clear, Yellow, and Green. At 23 cents per switch, sometimes even lower, they are perfect for my need. Each type of switch's actuation force, behaviors, and sound levels work as advertised.

Do these gateron switches support RGB or have RGB lighting in them?
LEDs are soldered to a PCB. That is how the LEDs get power. SMD LEDs are used with hotswap boards. Some LEDs passthrough the switch, this makes customization hard because the switch and LED would need to be desoldered to install new switches

Smooth & SMD Compatible

Modeled after popular Cherry MX mechanical switches, Gateron’s SMD MX switches have amassed an impressive following for properties all their own. Often described as “smoother” or “softer” than their Cherry counterparts, Gateron SMD MX switches are great for those who want an effortless typing experience with just the right amount of resistance. Like Cherry switches, Gaterons come in a number of different colors, each with its own unique characteristics. Available here are linear Reds, clicky Blues, linear and progressive-spring-equipped Yellows, heavy and clicky Greens, and sensitive and linear Clears. As their name indicates, Gateron SMD MX switches are compatible with SMD LEDs found on most hot-swappable boards. Choose a 70-, 90-, or 110-count pack to fit your setup.

Add-On LOOP Mechanical Switch Puller

When it comes to mechanical keyboards, half the fun is swapping switches, keycaps, and components. Hotswappable keyboards are convenient ways to audition new switch types without the need to solder, but some PCBs have really stiff sockets and pins—so having a high-quality switch puller can save you a lot of time and effort. This high-quality puller from LOOP has a rubber coating for grippability and comfort, meaning you won’t have to worry about stiffness when pulling lots of switches. And the hooked, inward-curving claws reach safely and snugly around your hot-swappable or desoldered switches to give you leverage without doing damage.
