Pros & Cons
Pros
These linears offer a very nice clack noise. Mods i included are the case foam as well as tape mod to get a poppier sound. If you're looking for a great sounding tactile switch get these and make sure they are the lubed version, unless you have the pa... Read More
Blue jelly switches are a much softer tactile than the lavender. Lavender purples collapse of resistance on the return back then feels more springy because you're not pushing against a spring that wants to uncoil. Blue jelly black has a deeper sound a... Read More
When lubed, they are creamy and poppy. Pre-lubed switches are well worth the money; it saves a lot of time. Factory lubing is fantastic.
Akko cs silvers are absolutely incredible for the price, almost unheard of. As far as feel, they are very similar to my gateron yellows.
Cons
The box and switches were heavily damaged. The issue with receiving used switches is that you don't know what the previous buyer did to them.
Highlights
Quality
They are made out of high quality materials and you can tell that the quality is amazing for the price of these switches.
The quality of the switches are great, and to get this quality of switches at this price (including pre-lubing) is excellent!
If your looking for something affordable and quality with a good sound and feel, you absolutely cannot go wrong with the matcha greens.
Keystrokes are snappier since you get more springiness with the longer length of the spring.
Price
These switches make a very pleasant deep “thocc” sound and make just as good of sound as switches that are 3-5 times the price.
Very good value, but fantastic even when price isn't considered!
Packaging/appearance
And as a bonus, they came in even better-looking packaging than my more expensive switches from drop!
Lubing was a pain but not any more so than other switches.
The jelly pink switches were smooth out of the box.
There's still some modding that i need to do to them like applying lube and what not, but they still have a nice out of the box experience.
Competitiveness
I got the pre-lubed matcha green switches and before i even put them in the pcb, i could just feel how great of a lubing job they did.
This makes typing a lot faster, and with it's 45g of actuation force it's a breeze to type on these switches.
They're kind of clicky, but not in a clacky way.
after using gateron silent ink blacks for almost two years, these were taste for my ears!

No ping from the springs either

Spent pocket changed and shaved quite literally hours off of building the keyboard

Another note from my own negligence is do not use a cheap u shaped switch puller you will definitely use more force than necessary due to the terrible design of those pullers and break the plastic tabs

None of the flaws are manufacturer side but on crappy tools and mishandling
