Pros & Cons
Pros
These are some seriously amazing switches. They have exceeded my expectations in terms of longevity and reliability. I use these for the number pad on my larger boards that have akko jelly purples switches.
The switches are well-made and very responsive. They're tactile, with a prominent bump at the top of the action.
Cons
There's a lot of stem wobble for it to be a box switch. Switch is quite loud, and the tactility is on the medium level.
Highlights
Quality
The only con so far is: the quality control.
This switch feels amazing with the stock springs and is my favorite switch so far.
The one slight issue i had was the quality control of the kiwis.
I recently switched to using tactile mechanical keyboard switches and i am absolutely thrilled with the experience.
Price
These are really good switches stock, especially considering the price.
Packaging/appearance
First, the adorable packaging of having them in a plastic jar with a pop-top seal brings some whimsy and brings some character ... Read More
Also the packaging is really cute, and the little glittery bits in the housing is a nice touch!
They were packed outside the sealed canister but stuffed inside the box.
Competitiveness
Even better lubed of course, but these would be a great upgrade over a gateron or cherry brown switch.
They aren’t “clicky” per say, which i like.
Although for the price of factory lubed switches i could forgive this, i still think that should be something to keep in mind.
Btw, i'm basing this review of them using a th66 keyboard and sa keycaps.

One container came pristine while the other looked like a can of soda that was melting and also threatening to explode

Im sure that is not the case with all the containers but it was a bit alarming to open the first box to find the jar damaged
