For the price, I was satisfied with the switches. They could use a full lube job for sure but stock they were good enough. They stay in my rotation from time to time.
Some switches have some inconsistency in very minor pinging but the stock smoothness is pretty great given the price. I still recommend lightly lubing springs with whatever method ya prefer and giving a micro smidge of lube on the leaf to be safe.
Really like this switch. They are quiet and smooth. They are pretty stable too. Feel a lot like gateron yellows but the pre-lube makes a huge difference in the smooth linear feel. I do not like this particular switch for a spacebar as it feels too light but as a mech keeb fan i have several switches to choose from.
Good switch budget friendly switch. With some extra work turns out pretty amazing. They benefit from lubing and filming. After that they really punch above there weight class in terms of price to performance. Great for someone who wants a good switch to build off and mod.
I used these Keebmonkey Iceberg Linear Switches to replace C³Equalz X TKC Dark Green Tangerine Switches on my Drop Alt. This change was made for aesthetic reasons since the Tangerines have a bright orange shell which does not match the theme for this particular keyboard. These switches look great so they fit that need perfectly. As far as feel, they are very solid. They are not as smooth of a linear as the Tangerines. I also prefer the 67gf of the Tangerines compared to the 55gf of these Icebergs. That said, I'm glad I purchased these and may look into lubing them at some point to help with the feel. I can certainly recommend these to anyone who likes the look and wants a budget set of linear switches.
This is a very good budget switch, especially if you want a light linear switch that you do not have to lube. It has a higher pitch when bottoming out. For only 30 dollars for 110 switches, I say buy these if they go back on sale. They feel better over time so if you do not like how they feel when you first start using them give them some time to break in. They also arrived in good shape I only had one switch that was damaged beyond repair. Overall, for the price I would say it would be hard to find a better switch.
My original set from Drop was stolen off my porch, but I was able to get another set finally. After lubing and oiling they make a great linear especially for the price. No complaints here at all!
