A true classic among linear switches. The keystroke is pleasantly smooth with a slightly creamy feel, supported by Gateron’s well-known factory lubrication. Sound-wise, it clearly leans thocky, with a warm and slightly muted bottom-out. One of the most popular options for affordable builds with a rich sound profile.

Good to know

Relativ ruhige Switches in Richtung thock

Relativ ruhige Switches in Richtung thock. Leichtes Tippgefühl. Ich mag sie, allerdings bevorzuge ich die Gateron Strawberry Smoothie.

Maybe a bad batch?

The batch that I got was very inconsistent; some keys were almost silent and other were clacky. After hand lubing the whole batch with krytox 205g0 however, most of them are gone/fixed and the sound is now thock! Great linears at a great price!

P.S. I'm not entirely sure if all the inconsistencies were fixed after lubbing since I'm currently using SA profile keycaps that thock by default and might hide any small inconsistencies remaining.

Toller Sound, klasse Tippgefühl

Die Switches habe ich in meiner Glorious GGMK Pro verbaut, dort haben sie einen wunderschönen "thocky" Sound. Die 50g Kraftaufwand empfinde ich als sehr angenehm, gutes Mittelding zwischen den 45g der roten und 55 der braunen Switches.
Traumhaft! :)
