Ice Milk not being named Hard Boiled or Fried Egg is sort of a missed opportunity.

I have the Purple Pandas and I really love them, one of my favorite variants of the Holy Panda style of switch - definitely better than the Drop Holy Pandas. That being said, I'm very curious how they compare with Ice Milk and Sapphire - there is not a whole lot of information out there about them. The Sapphires from what I could see online are more of a MX Clear style bump, it's less tactile than the Purple Pandas - and I haven't seen anything about the Ice Milk. It's interesting to see that they are all the same price, because usually the Sapphires are sold at a premium and the Purple Pandas are cheaper (Both can be found significantly cheaper than Drop). Once again, I'm very curious to hear some actual information about how these switches compare to each other. Drop needs to do a much better job with their details about their products - at least there are switch materials listed... although whether to trust Drop on those being accurate is up to you.

If you feel like lubing, I recommend picking up some Gateron Yellows or Jwick Black switches as they are very cheap and quite good once lubed. If you don't feel like lubing then picking up some Aqua Kings, Gateron Cap Yellow V2, JWK Lavender are some very good options. Linears are nice, and I rotate boards all the time between linear and tactiles - tactile feedback is very satisfying, but linears are nice for the smoothness and the 'tactility' comes from bottoming out, so I usually go with lighter springs (60-62g bottom out) - I'm currently using some Gateron CJ unlubed and I love them, also Gateron Hippo/X are supposed to be very good but I haven't personally tried them.

hey, sorry for the late response. Tecsee Carrots are about as good as it gets in that price range. In terms of linear I'd say they're not the best, but their price point alone puts them in the high tiers for me. I got mine off of AliExpress for $0.24 per switch. I think they require lube or else they will be scratchy and films as they arent the most firm. All things considered I don't think you can go wrong. Unless you care about RGB, in which case I hope you like orange lights.
