These are completely different from the Speed switches in terms of their stems
The burgundy feels smooth and has a slight curve to it when starting out.
The purple feels really nice. The bump is decently strong and smooth. It feels comparable to a Zealio 65g.

A good alternative to Zealios
Zealios are really hard to find so I cannot comment directly on how they are a community favorite. However, I was intrigued by the reviews on Youtube and decided to purchase this one. This one was sent standard shipping but the package got to me 2 weeks earlier than the date range. I have to say this company is top notch. This is the fourth buy including the Kailh Burnt Orange switches and the GK61 diy keyboards and everything was packaged nicely to protect the product. Anyways, these switches actuate early and is linear until you bottom out. The tactility is more subtle than the Kailh Burnt Orange but just above a Gateron Brown. I think it is very smooth. The Cherry MX blues and the Kailh Box Jades are still my favorites but I do like the diversity of the tactile switches like the Burnt Orange and this Pro Purple. I am not sure over time if I prefer these switches or the Burnt Orange as my favorite tactile switches. I think for some enthusiasts or gamers who love linear switches, these may be the ones. I find myself bottoming out more often when typing then the Box Jades or the Burnt Oranges. My only negative thought is that these switches, unlike the box switches, have a little wobble.

Average quality keyswitches
Not much difference from a outemu brown switch. Keep in mind that actuation distance isn’t a lot and feels mushy when bottoming out. I play osu with these switches but I like to bottom out, so these weren’t exactly for me. Shipping to US took a long time but that’s to be expected coming from China. Used these switches on my redragon k556 but they don’t quite fit, as the keyboard originally used outemus, but it was easy to make the pins thinner so it can fit.

They feel awesome, that’s it!
I usaly feel like blue/brown switches are too hard hard for me, with the bronze switches you really feel virtuoso while typing, it’s so relaxing

The elusive HYPED CREAM SWITCH…….
it’s a decent switch for sure. No need to pay resale though as these restock regularly and stay in stock on amazon for a while.Creams are a linear switch that have a nice sound and feel after being broken in. Initially you will hear/feel that there is some scratchiness because the housing and the stem are made from the same POM material. But if you add a little bit of lube (they’re thirsy switches so it’ll get worn off fast) and break them in, it will be a much more enjoyable experience.However, there is a lot of hype for these. They’re NOT worth paying resell for them. $1.50 a switch? Come on, yall. Don’t throw your hard earned money away like that. They’re not THAT good.Side note: these things smell like sh**. Some say it smells like fish food or chemicals or cancer but they stink…let them air out before brining them into your office lol.

Decent
I had gotten these switches (speed silver) about a month ago and wanted to give it some time before I went writing anything. Thoughts so far is that these things actuate the very instant the stem starts to depress. Might put some people off but for my uses it works just fine. Fair warning though, there’s some switch wobble, so if that’s not your thing, I’d look elsewhere.I did get a bad batch, but upon getting in contact with them they sent in replacements for the amount of defective switches.

Poor man’s Holy Panda
I ordered some Novel Key Cremes to try out. First, they feel extremely linear in their houses. I could only feel the bump after I opened and gently lubed the spring. Sounds weird, right? The is nothing wrong with these switches, but they were not for me. Even after some Krytox 203, they felt really stiff, but they do sound good.I ended up Frankensteining mine by removing the cream stem and replacing it with a gateron brown steam. Surprisingly, it feels exactly like a zealios 62 or an Everglide Black with a more pronounced bump and with a curve, but way more easier on the fingers. They sound nicer too. I want to buy some coppers, burgundy, and purples and play around with them.

Best value switches
The switches have been awesome in a number of the keyboards I put them in.

Awesome if you like switches with a “heavy-feel” to them!
Amazing feel to these switches! Came faster then expected so give 2 1/2 weeks for me. Love the feel of that push back, making them feel heavy. Honestly was skeptical but these are the real deal! Thank you! Will be sure to get some more soon!
