Needs a little work for a nice experience

These switches are just okay stock. Like others have mentioned previously, they're a little scratchy as is. The experience does improve with some lubing, but I know not everyone can/wants to do that. If you're into tactile switches and don't mind a little scratchiness, these are a decent buy based on pricing

Great Typing Experience and Excellent Value

Do not believe that these switches do not measure up simply because they are a lower price than others. These are one of my switches of all time and I adore them. I recommend them to everyone that is getting into the hobby because I believe them to be the most accessible switch with a fantastic stock experience and a wonderful value. 11/10

Just blue halo switches

Great if you just want a blue halo stem for frankenswitches, Otherwise not a great switch at all.

Ok... not great

Quite alot of stem play, sound a bit hollow but with some modding they could be decent...

Not the best switches around

Very wobbly. As far as feel goes they are crunchy top bump, with a powdery sound profile. I liked the ping noise on some keys but this was not consistent. There are many better choices. As the last icing on the cake, the actuation point is a bit too low.

Standard Tactile Keys nothing to write home about

ive had these for over a year now and they are nothing to write home about. they are nice, they do have a nice tactile feel and do look good, but they arent anything special and the "4th feel" is just marketing talk, you cant even feel it especially if you lube them.

Decent tactile, stem can be used too make frankenswitches

Out of the box, switches were slightly scratchy. Not sure what was meant by a “fourth feel”, but that may be due to my inexperience with other tactile switches (only have Glorious Pandas). I used the stems of this switch with the housing of the YOK Trash Pandas with Kinetic Labs symmetric long springs, and I’m liking the sound and feel of this frankenswitch over my Glorious Pandas.

What more can I say besides Joy as in Enjoy

There was a fellow that did a typing test on these Polias and they sounded so cool. Before now, Kailh was not my favorite switch after a so so experience with one of their other switches that I will not name. These Polias made up for the lackluster experience and also added value in ways you all could not imagine. They are marketed as the closest thing to the Holy Pandas. This is an accurate description as I like the tactility almost as much as the Pandas. Depending on the price, there is a possibility that I would purchase the Polias before the Pandas. It is just something about the feel and the responsiveness(maybe actuation) of the switch that makes me feel good. It is fair to say Polia switches will be in my arsenal for some time to come. Even if I break every switch with joy, replacements will be bought to fill the void. The current 3.8 rating here may not be justified, but I can't speak for anyone else and their feelings. If you are on the fence, give them a try as you will more than likely not regret. Typing may be something that you end up doing for a pass time. In closing, the point has been made of my feelings bout the Polias. The European guy that did a sound test gets a major shout out, too bad I can't remember his name(something like Clack Sounds). This is a guy that wears a skull cap and keeps his typing videos under a minute. If you buy, then get ready for a good time. Thanks for reading and please share with family and friends that you think are cool.

High expectations, result below expectations

The type of tactility of these switches is similar to that of the Holy Pandas although less pronounced. But what disappointed me a lot, and the reason why I can't rate these switches highly, is the level of scratchiness despite having lubed.
