Pros & Cons
Pros
Bought this for my son for his customized keyboard. Mine is a gmmk pro with a pc switch plate. Great drop in replacement for the cheap red switches my board came with.
The quality of these where much higher than the cherry clones on my existing board. Are heavier than reds and i like this because with linears there’s no tactile bump. Yellows are a little bit heavier than red switches, but lighter than black switches... Read More
Cons

I thought it was worth exploring the switch's potential, so i tried lubing, filming, and o rings.
Shipping
The only complaint is that the shipping time is really long.
Unlike most keyboard parts not prime the shipping was decent.
Received the switches about 3 weeks after ordering, shipping to florida took 14 days.

They don't sound nearly as good to hand lubed switches in my opinion.
Filming only made it more 'clicky', so that didn't give me what i was after.
If you type on a non-qwerty keymapping like dvorak, workman, or colemak.

Not being a fan of tactile switches i tried a gateron blue from a sample pack for the heck of it and was surprised at the interesting sound it made although it was louder and grittier than i wanted
