Pros & Cons
Pros
These switches are fantastic. The box they come in is premium, the switches are premium feeling and have a satisfying clack to them. These are a very safe option for anybody who would like to try something other than the stock switches on their keyboa... Read More
These are fantastic sounding and feeling switches, especially lubed. Just take the lube and a paintbrush and put a dab on the paintbrush.
The feel once lubed, 8/10. It makes it more challenging to lube.
Quality is impeccable. I've done dozens of swaps between my 2 boards trying different combos and they have held up just fine.
They sound alright stock, but after lubing them with krytox gpl204 and mostly avoiding the leaf spring and stem legs, they feel even better and sound better. True to their name, they have a very “creamy” sound signature.
Highlights
Quality
At only 20 dollars for a pack, these switches are an excellent value for the quality you receive.

Price
They sound nice and the price for them makes it all so worth it compared to other akko options.
I got the matcha green switches (unlubed) because i enjoy punishing myself, upon opening them to apply lube i noticed that one ... Read More
Shipping
Sadly due to shipping some of the pins were bent but you can easily unbend them with tweezers (which i did.
Packaging/appearance
And as a bonus, they came in even better-looking packaging than my more expensive switches from drop!
Switch packaging was perfect, no bent or dead switches, all with consistent lubing (resistance/sound when pressing pre installation).
Lubing was a pain but not any more so than other switches.
Competitiveness
Very solid budget switches that will fit into outemu hotswap sockets, to improve some of the budget hotswap boards that come wi... Read More
Would highly recommend lubing them yourself, it makes quite the difference.
after using gateron silent ink blacks for almost two years, these were taste for my ears!
Some have a clicky sound for some reason.

In my opinion the prelubed version ok but it sounds and feels better when you lube it yourself therefore id get the non lubed to save money

Also if you are looking for a deep sound and stronger bump the gazzew boba u4t will do a better job but will cost a lot more
