They are just low end switches, I think with your switches they are somewhat scratchy and have some spring/leaf ping. The price/value is ok not good or great, and you didn't get to choose. I am sure it would be fine for most people especially if they are new, but if you have been using some of the better switches (which are not that much more money) you probably would not want this. They would be good if lubed but it's probably not worth your time on a low end switch.

I think people were hoping to get something at least slightly unique or interesting but it's just a basic below average switch which is exactly what I was expecting given this price and my belief that this mystery box is just a vehicle to dump stale inventory. I don't agree with the concept of a mystery box on a fundamental level. The whole point of getting a custom board, and either paying more for hotswap or taking the time and equipment to solder, is that you can customize it to your exact preference and there are so many options, something for everyone. If you just mystery box a basic low end switch, what was the point of all this, you could have just gotten a cheaper prebuilt keyboard.
