United StatesTo put this in perspective, I've only felt 1 linear. Those are reds. I've only felt 2 tactiles. Blues, pandas. This switch is better than all 3 of those switches I had felt in the past, by a landslide. If you are considering getting it, please do so.
United StatesI think these are super great for the value. They have a slight scratchiness but the stock thock is amazing. They’re a little deeper sounding than black inks. Currently my favorite switch.
United States United StatesI bought a hotswap keyboard with Gateron Reds, replaced them with the milky yellows. Very nice change.
United Statesthe stem on these make the best sounding and feeling linears i have ever tried. i'm not sure what the milky housing is made out of, but the material along with the stem design add a unique and extremely satisfying sound to the switches. also, the material seems to add an amazing feeling to the up and downstroke. after lubing with 205g0 and filming with thicc resized films, i don't think i will be buying any more linears for a very long time. if you like deep and thoccy, then give these a try. i have seen a few places that state gateron is a budget switch. if i never heard that before, and was given these switches to compare to 'high end' switches, i would think these are the highest quality and top of the line in comparison. from packaging to the look and feel, these are amazing and i'm so happy i gave them a try.
