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
Switches came in a plastic bag, not just a regular ziploc.
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.
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.

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

Received my switches far quicker than expected 2 weeks vs 6 weeks none of the switches were defective only a few pins were bent but that’s to be expected

These pins are extremely thin so be careful putting them in your keyboard they bent very easily

I did this personally but ended up breaking 4 switches so do it at your own risk
