MAGIC-REFINER x Jelly Blue Switches for Mechanical Keyboard DIY, 50gf Tactile Keyswitch 3 Pins, Factory Pre Lubed with POM Stem Compatible for MX Mechanical Keyboard Switch Set (100PCS)

for my first time doing a custom keyboard, friend recommended me these switches. after typing on them while gaming past several days they feel great to type and game on. if you are starting on a new keyboard build or swapping out switches these are a great value.

MAGIC-REFINER CS Linear Switches, Gateron 3 Pin 45gf SMD Linear Switch Set with Dustproof Stem, Durable 80M MX Switch Compatible with Hotswap Mechanical Keyboards (45 PCS, Green)I've tested this linear switch extensively this past month and I find it to be generally quite excellent.This review is for the mists green variant.I bought 90 pieces, so two packs would be adequate for any layout short of the full size 104/108 key layout. The switches are definitely all pre-lubed, but the lubing is very inconsistent and the feel on bottom out and rebound are a bit different key to key.They have definitely erred on the side of overlubing rather than underlubing. The problem with overlubed switches are a sticky feeling on the keystroke rebound and muffling of the bottom out. Of the two packs purchased, one pack was much more overlubed than the other pack, which was not great for consistency of the key switch presses.The spring weight feels heavier than what is advertised at 55g. Has a very pleasing sound on bottom out.The switch housing is very tight and this contributes to excellent stability with minimal stem wobble in both top to bottom or side to side direction. Also these switches have excellent resistance for usingWhen factoring in the cost per switch which is just 22 cents per switch, it maintains a stellar value proposition, very little reason to buy for example the popular Jwick linear blacks over this one when considering budget linear options.The translucent housing allows for great light transmission.Overall an excellent budget offering.

I got these for a budget build and figured that hey, 100 prelubed switches for only $25? These have to be too good to be true. It even says "Both sides of the esr and the axis of the base..." whatever that means. They have good tactility, don't get me wrong, but these NEED lubed and possibly filmed. I'm in the middle of lubing them with 3203 and it seems to be helping out a bit. I also got six or seven switches with bent pins, though not to the point of no return. Every switch works, at least. The color is very nice, too.Also, the jar I got says they're from "Attack Shark?" Just a fun little tidbit.Overall, if you want to go the route of lubing your own tactile switches (or getting them lubed for you), these are half decent for the bundle, especially when they're on sale. Out of the box, be ready for something that isn't the worst experience in the world, but not quite as advertised.EDIT: Upping my review to four stars. I've lubed the switches with Tribosys 3203 and they feel and sound much better than they did before. A lot of the inconsistencies that I heard within pressing down on the switch seemed to be fixed to some extent, maybe I'll have to film them at some point and see if that finally fixes them completely. I did finally notice later on in the lubing process that there was a tiny amount of some kind of lube on the leaves and the pole, but not much else. All of the switches still work after being put back into my MK870 and I'm not displeased with the results.

The switches themselves are bone dry, even if you get the lubed switches. They have not a drop of any lubricant inside them so don't expect for them to feel and sound good stock. However, once lubed by hand, they sound and feel great and I have had no issues with the functionality of them.

I've ordered several different switches from this vendor.The great ones:- diced fruit kiwi- crystal yellow (aka royal yellow)I like these switches. Especially the tactile kiwi. The bump has a nice snap and bounce back that is so fun to type on.I ordered 45 Crystal Pink switches with box stem, but received 45 Ajazz diced fruit "peach" switches instead. Still 5 stars because these switches are great super-light linears.The trash:- mists green (aka green)- jelly blue (aka sky blue, aka blue)These 2 switches get stuck in every keyboard I've tried and take a lot of force and prying with a knife to get out. Don't use these unless you plan on soldering them to your board. Terrible for hot swap. Other than that, they work fine.

Do not buy these unless you are planning to solder them in. If you do, and you would like to lube them be sure to do that prior to putting them in. Nearly half of my brand new keyboard is it's not working because the sockets have been pulled out when trying to remove the switches. I took a closer look to the pins, and they are so irregular. Other than that, they're not horrible. So if you plan on soldering them in, it might not be a problem.
