Pros & Cons
Cons
The pins on the bottom of the switch are very thin and bend too easily. The copper pins are way to wide/girthy to slide into my keyboard.
Highlights
Quality
Good for the price, no bad ones in my batch.
Shipping
Shipping took a while but it’s well worth it.
Packaging/appearance
I ordered a 68-ct of the gateron red switches and they arrived in perfect condition, with only one having a slightly bent contact pin.
Switches came in a plastic bag, not just a regular ziploc.
Competitiveness
Perfect if you need to complete or upgrade a 60-ish% keyboard with reds.
Another reviewer said they wouldn't fit in their outemu sockets, but they aren't supposed too.
If you do have outemu switches, you can clip or file down the pins to size.

The switches are scratchy but that isnt the end of the world for me personally

Please note if you really want a quieter switch the silent red switch is a lot quieter than the silent brown switches

The only thing i was disappointed in was that the bottom of the switches isnt seethrough so you can barely see the lights on my keyboard
