These switches felt really good out of the box and you'd have no problem not lubing them. I ended up unlubing them all and lubing my self though. I must say these are my favorite switch so far. I am new to the hobby but compared to the holy panda x they are much nicer. They are a medium bump imo and they just thock really good. I'd definitely buy these.
Absolutely one of the best stock switches I've tried in both linear and tactile variations (I have probably 100+ switches on my switch tester and 3000+ on shelf/boards). Smooth, no spring of leaf ping, just a little bit of scratchyness on the linears. You can lube them but they are perfect fine to use as it. Love the light bump tacticle feel and good for those who want a premium version of a brown switch. While not a lot of light pass through for RGB, enough for shinethrough caps on a north facing board if you're into that but would recommend for non RGB builds. Good price, especially if you can use them with DKC discounts and will pick them up whenever I need more switches and have a DKC coupon available.
I have the tacticle ones on an FR4 plate, DCX caps, No foam Space80 and it sounds very poppy, clean clack. A nice change from all the foamy gasket boards that I have a dozen of and trendy these days.
Right out of the box they need no work. They instantly sound great in my go polar tai chi. They give a nice thocky poppy sound that I've been looking for with a mid range priced switch. My only issue is that I would like their pins to slightly thicker for better contact with my hotswap sockets. Overall 8.5/10
really smooth tactiles that sound great. i was using the epomaker budgerigars and these are an affordable step-up. i think my only critique would be that the packaging attempts to be nice, but the foam slots aren't really secure and both boxes arrived shaken up and loose. it's not a big deal and i don't care because it's cosmetic and no pins were bent, but they missed the mark there.
