Pros & Cons
Pros
Silver optical switches with a heavier spring are great for gaming. The springs are light for my taste, even on the silver switches. I at least recommend heavier springs paired with silver switches as it makes it less likely to perform accidental pres... Read More

I was skeptical after trying to research about brown switches but i'm super pleased about the feel and sound coming from these switches.
Edit: four months later after my initial review, i'm still using these optical silver switches lubed, filmed, and with the 67.

At 70 switches per package it sits at an awkward number where if you have anything bigger than a 65 keyboard youll have to order two packs but nobody needs 140 switches since even a 100 keyboard only has about 104 keys
