Gateron Switches Mx Keyboard Switch 3pin SMD LED Underglow Led Compatible for MX Mechanical Keyboards Transparent Cover White Base (SMD Yellow 68 PCS)

Bought this for my son for his customized keyboard. Overall the switches are in good quality, with about 2-3 pins destroyed (package issues?). The only complaint is that the shipping time is really long.

[5/11/22]So I ordered these green switches as I don't game mostly anymore but I do have a hotswappable keyboard. They fit and work great. I would order more than you need though. About 5 of my keys did not work. I also bent pins on two keys while trying to install. Sometimes I would think a key doesn't work and after removing and installing into a different slot it would work. My keyboard is a Royal Kludge RK61. So here are my recommendations:-Buy more keys than you need.-Make sure your keyboard supports 3 pin Gateron Switches.-Install very carefully! These pins can be bent back, but sometimes you can't bend back depending on severity.-If you aren't sure you'll like a specific type (color switch) buy a switch test kit for about $16 and find which one you like.Other than that these work great and will report back if I have problems in the future.

the response time of these switches is terrible and even that's being generous. if you're just typing, whatever. but for gaming, these should definitely not be your first choice, or even your 50th for that matter. there is visible delay which gets on my nerves quite oftenin terms of build quality, they're actually pretty good. after lubing them, they sound and feel impressively good for budget switches.overall, a pretty good bang for ur buck. i do have one huge gripe, however. they sent me numerous faulty switches and unfortunately, that's only something you notice after installing all of your switches. some switches required an exponential amount of actuation force, some only registered every now and then, and some didn't register at all. to make matters worse, all except for one of the extra 6 switches that i didn't end up using originally turned out to be faulty, meaning i'm stuck with about 5-6 different keys that work horribly. i don't plan on contacting gateron or amazon to get replacements because honestly i don't feel like rebuilding an entire keyboard just to possibly get more faulty switches.so long as you don't get bad switches like i did, you should be just fine. do i recommend these, though? honestly, not really. i think you'd be better off going with different budget switches

Gateron Greens are by and far my favorite Gateron switch. Basically, just a beefed up Blue switch. I use these for things like my space bar, enter key, delete, backspace, and escape. Things that I use frequently in gaming and regular use.The click is so satisfying and the slightly increased force for actuation just makes it for me. I have gone through many different switches so far, but the Greens are my favorite for parts that I consider "high use".I'm also glad I was able to find the housings that have the milky bottoms for better LED shine-thru. I've had some of the black housings and it really does make the LED light dimmer.If you like Blues but want moar thicc clicc, get Greens.

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. They don't sound nearly as good to hand lubed switches in my opinion. But if you weren't going to lube them this is going to be leagues better than it otherwise would've. The quality of these where much higher than the cherry clones on my existing board.

My yellows came in a bag and a few of them had a few bent pins, however, after a bit of straightening out with some tweezers they all worked perfectly well. Without lube these switches are a little scratchy and there is some spring ping. I went ahead and opened these up and lubed them with some krytox 205 g0 equivalent and my GOD they are smoother than butter. They have a wonderful deep tone and a very satisfying bottom out feeling. When lubed these easily are in the same class as something far more expensive like tangerines and ink blacks. Without a doubt these are the best budget linear switch on the market.

The switches are not packed properly and come with many switches unrepairable, having to order another 20ish switches just to have enough for a 65% keyboard isn't ideal.

While these switches are much more sensitive and accidental activations are something to get used to at first, but they're worth the investment as they feel way easier/less fatiguing to type on than even Cherry MX Browns.Currently using these Gateron Clears on a grid-based ZSA Planck EZ w/ hot swappable switches along w/ a few of the Cherry MX Browns that came w/ the board. Feels like typing on pillows or clouds but in a good way. Of course, opinions on likes and dislikes vary with individual preferences.If you're a touch typist, your hands will thank you esp. if you type on a non-QWERTY keymapping like Dvorak, Workman, or Colemak. This is probably about as good as it gets w/o modding switches by hand and doing something "crazy" like a switch to stenography.

The absence of a tactile bump or audible click in Gateron Yellow switches results in a seamless and consistent keystroke feel.One of the standout features of Gateron Yellow switches is their remarkable smoothness.

Non c'è bisogno di altro colore, per gli interruttori della tastiera, se non il blu.I Gateron non sono i Cherry, ma poco ci manca. Questi sono con 3 pin, quindi compatibili con certi tipi di tastiere "pignole" che non accettano quelli con 5 pin. Hanno anche la trasparenza per la compatibilità coi LED sui tasti.La sensazione è identica ai Cherry blu, quindi niente da commentare su quello.Servizio veloce (arrivati in anticipo rispetto alla data prevista) e semplificato, ottima assistenza.

If you have RSI and want key switches that are light to press to alleviate pressure then these are the switches I would recommend. This seller has them at a very competitive price and despatches very quickly. I will purchase again.

Das Tastengefühl war sehr angenehm, die Switches halten auch lange durch und alles ist perfekt, aber es kommt leider immer mal wieder staub drunter weshalb man die ca 1 mal im jahr säubern sollte, sonst werden die Tastenschläge iwie komisch, also entweder löst er das dann doppelt aus oder gar nicht hin und wieder, ist aber finde ich kein großes Problem

Habe die Switches für den Bau eines Macro Boards verwendet. Man bekommt nicht genug vom Knöpfe drücken, sodass ich zwei Buttons eingebaut habe, die lediglich abwechselnd die Farben wechseln, sodass ich eine Beschäftigung habe wenn ich nichts zu tun habe.
