Review: great for the price - Haven't bothered lubing these as the factory lube has been fine so far. Nice and creamy sounding replacement for Keychron keyboard that makes most switches far louder than I'd like, would definitely recommend
Review: Incredible feel and sound - I bought this switch to pair with my second project keyboard, a pink ek68 VIA barebones and some nice pink and white keycaps. I was pleasantly surprised to find that these switches feel just as good as they sound. The tactile feel gives a truly immersive feel to typing and makes me want to work even more. A perfect budget switch for people who want a quiet yet reactive keyboard that gives feedback to the typer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible feel and sound
*by C***N on 3 November 2024*

I bought this switch to pair with my second project keyboard, a pink ek68 VIA barebones and some nice pink and white keycaps. I was pleasantly surprised to find that these switches feel just as good as they sound. The tactile feel gives a truly immersive feel to typing and makes me want to work even more.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tactile, but they're not browns
*by J***N on 2 August 2025*

They're definitely nice. However they're not the brown equivalent I was expecting. More their own unique switch. I prefer my browns that came with my 65% but I don't have enough to swap them all on my 75% so I'm getting used to them. Very nice for gaming. Nice sound. Just doesn't feel as nice as I expected
