I wish the gateron yellows had a little tighter tolerance for the stem in the top housing, but that's life.
Shipping
Shipping speed was fast (a little under two weeks) and the value is great.
Unlike most keyboard parts not prime the shipping was decent.
Received the switches about 3 weeks after ordering, shipping to florida took 14 days.
Packaging/appearance
I used one of the switches in the pack to swap out a faulty switch on my keyboard.
Competitiveness
These gateron blues are a decent value.
Gateron greens are by and far my favorite gateron switch.
If you type on a non-qwerty keymapping like dvorak, workman, or colemak.
They don't sound nearly as good to hand lubed switches in my opinion.
