NK mystery switches are junk this wave.

Agreed. It's as if NK called all their suppliers and asked for their unsellable inventory.

Some would argue that’s why they’re mystery switches?

Made two separate orders for them last year, got Sherberts both times. I hate clickys.

And I got NK silks, even though I’m not crazy about linears.

I knew what I was risking, and have since decided to pay full price for exactly the kind of switch I want rather than submitting to the gacha game.

Thanks. I Googled KS-3 and these appear to be KS-3 Whites, which are 35g linears but not silent. (Oddly, Gateron's own webpage for the KS-3 Full Black series doesn't even list Whites as one of the available varieties.)

This is great. I hate overly-light switches (my favorite spring is 67g) and I hate linears, so now I have a set of 35g linears. Looking on the bright side, at least I won't be tempted to buy a new keyboard to put these switches into.

EDIT: Here's where I found the KS-3 Whites. And I accidentally typed "like" instead of "hate" originally.

check over on r/ErgoMechKeyboards – Kailh Silent Pinks (35g) are a very popular starter switch on that side of the keyboard community

They have the Gateron logo on the top housing. They are clearly linear. The only Gateron switch I can find online that looks like these are the Gateron Silent Clears. However, I put one into a board that otherwise has Ajazz Kiwis and these aren't any quieter than the Kiwis -- just higher pitched -- so I would consider it a stretch to call them "silent."
