Pros & Cons
Pros
Without a doubt these are the best budget linear switch on the market. All switches in working condition. I'm super happy and surprised that these budget switches feel and sound so good.
Led lights shine through. Only complaint is the pins are a bit weak. Tightly fits onto my reddragon k556, which came with outemus that had thinner pins. These are fantastic quality and work well in my hot swap board.
Are heavier than reds and i like this because with linears there’s no tactile bump. Heavier and louder than cherry mx blues.
This switch is very smooth, even without lube. Love the buttery smoothness. The spring is so cushiony.
Cons
That cause the keyboard a short circuit and broken.

I thought it was worth exploring the switch's potential, so i tried lubing, filming, and o rings.
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
They are a bargain for gateron yellow switches considering how much they cost else where on some other websites.
These gateron blues are a decent value.
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.

So a surprising thing that i found when i received these and cracked them open to start lubing them the stem is pre lubed making them feel shockingly similar to hand lubed switches
