bought 80 of these for a 65% layout. I was intrigued by the return of the click leaf in an mx package. the sound is AMAZING - especially in an open plastic case. Its better than cherry mx blue (but everything is). Its better than click bars too. A much deeper and firmer thock and it clicks on the way down, but not the way up as nature intended. Delivery was quick, and no issues with functionality.

could these be better? in my opinion yes. It's a case of being spoiled in the 90's typing on a blue skcm alps keyboard. the tactility on these is VERY high, and all of it is at the very top of the keystroke. Its just a little too much for me to use as a daily driver (but good enough to write this review lol). drop the tactile drop off by 1/2 to 1/3, and move it 2/3 the way down the keystroke and I'd make a lifetime buy. Just me nitpicking tho.

The best switches on the market that I've found.If you like box jades, you'll really appreciate these switches. They don't have the crunchy tactility that the box jades do, but instead that beautifully crisp tactile feel of Alps, with that great sound you might remember from your old Dell board, or in my case, my Apple Extended back in the day. I've been looking for a switch like this for years. Worth the price, but having it on sale was even sweeter.

I'm giving these switches a five star rating just from the courier service alone. I don't know whom Zeal is paying on the side in order to have such elite courier service but these switches were estimated to be delivered two days after the order date yet they are literally sitting in front of me just the very next day. The packaging was also solid, no damage, no bent pins. The build quality is superb which seems to be the Zeal standard. My first set of clicky switches and I might not ever need to change.

It's a unique clicky design and we don't have enough of those. It's much too tactile for most, myself included, and I think they could have alleviated that by using short springs. I swapped to 14mm 50g TX springs, which just barely fit on those stems, and for me that was a substantial improvement. Of course they're not "worth" this absurd price (and I mean the "sale" price—LOL) but nobody else makes anything quite the same as this—Melodics are nice but they're very different—so until someone else rips this off you're stuck paying the premium if this is what you want. If you're the sort of tool who says things like "it's worth what people are willing to pay" then maybe you could say these are "worth it". Obviously some people, myself included, were willing to pay. I didn't feel good about it, though.

Giving a score on the review feels silly. Of course it's priced for suckers, and the ultra-tactile feel is off-putting, and some of the switches in my batch sounded different from the other switches and were therefore unusable. And even 100 of these didn't qualify me for free shipping within Canada. If this was a linear switch I'd be giving it the one-star review it deserves. But it's a unique click design, and it works, so they deserve ample praise for that, in spite of everything.

The switches are exactly what I'd hoped for. They are very well built, have a distinct click, and were delivered very promptly.
