Pros & Cons
Pros
These are some seriously amazing switches. They are definitely the deepest sounding switch i own. These are great switches that have a buttery feel to them. The switches are very sturdy and ( the stem) they are not wobbly.
The longer pole on the stem has a nice clack to each key that i find much more pleasing than the tkc kiwi's or holy pandas. They look great and feel very tactile while still light. I am a big guy and my fingers get fatigued quickly trying to game on t... Read More
Cons
I wouldn't recommend these unless you're on a really tight budget (if you're building a mechanical keyboard, i assume you have a more flexible budget) or want switches with a yellow housing that's rgb friendly. Switch is quite loud, and the tactility ... Read More
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.
Price
These are really good switches stock, especially considering the price.
Packaging/appearance
The fruit cup packaging is adorable as well.
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.

Longer stem leads to shorter overall travel which i personally enjoy

Out of the 80 i used in my new build there were only 2 in the bunch that i turned away due to a very audible spring noise

These are the first switches i have bought outside of those that come with a keyboard so take my feedback with a pinch of salt but im also a paranoid person so i did some teststechnical feedbackthey didnt seem to need any film none of those i tested had any housing wiggle and the stem dont generally wiggle that much eitherthey are prelubed and when installing you might find them to be a little inconsistent

The feel of pressing down on a stem can warry between each switch as some feel mushy some feel strong and some feel straight up linear

Thats at least untill you add them to a keyboard and use them for a while oh and chose carefully which switch you use together with buttons that have stabilizers at least if they should actually have been lubed

Linear switches may be fast but i found myself getting more tired when using them

The stem is a long pole stem whitch does reduce the total travel of the press but when typing you cant tell the difference from the traditional 4mm

But enough about the packaging
