Can't post a review so I'll post it here. I have tried these stock, lubed and stem swapped with C3 Dragonfruits and all 3 variations are great. In my opinion, these are perfectly fine stock. Incredibly smooth thanks to the factory lube and have very little stem wobble. These are also surprisingly light. The sound signature is pretty decent being on the higher pitched side, and my only gripe is that they aren't 5 pin. Would love to use these on a plateless build, especially with the Thera75 coming out soon (as of this post). These are factory lubed but you can put your own lube preference on top without issues. I personally recommend lubing at least the springs, as there is a bit of spring ping stock and they are a little unstable. Other than that, you dont really need lube for anything else. However, it won't ruin it if you lube them how you like :). I also advise against filming these switches. Through tests I have found it changes nothing in terms of sound signature and feel. If you happen to have your hands on a batch of C3 Dragonfruits that you dont like (because they are pretty poor stock imo despite how much i prefer their tactility), I recommend stem swapping the Dragonfruit stem into the Frog housing and spring. The Dragonfrogs are my favourite variation of the switch. The result is a poppy and crisp switch with stem wobble virtually eliminated (a huge problem of the Dragonfruits). It also keeps the tactility of the Dragonfruits but gives them a bit of snappyness. A small pre-warning before stem swapping these, there are going to be some stems that wont fit the housings (thanks JWK >:|). Just keep changing the stems until you get switches that go down smoothly. Over time you will see which of your Dragonfrogs have return issues due to not perfectly fitting the housings. They can be fixed with more changing the stems around. Because of this I recommend trying them on a hotswap board if you can first. Overall they are a refreshing and light linear switch with some very handy Frankenswitch uses. I doubt they will be very popular, but if you enjoy these niche findings listed above, this may be a good switch for you.
