If I am not wrong they are TTC silent Browns, Kailh Speed Pinks, and I want to say cherry mx browns but I have seen other people say the full black ones are also TTC browns just with a different top housing. Yeah, not a great haul don't know why Novelkeys decided to go for so many basic switch options.

They probably chose so many basic switch options because they were cheap. They bought these switches specifically for the mystery switches and selling to us at $0.15 per switch is pretty cheap which means they got them even cheaper from the manufacturer. These were all probably old stock the manus had sitting around.

The reason the mystery packs were so good last time is because they were moving warehouses and needed to clear their own inventory.

Wow haven't seen the full black housing kailh switches in a long time. Novelkeys must have bought some really old stock if they are shipping those versions for years now you mainly just find the clear top/white bottom version.

I got the black kaihl browns also. What is your opinion on them?

I might be wrong but the black housing variants of the standard blue/red/brown switches by Kailh are the ones that try their best to replicate the sound and feel of cherry switches. I would say they probably sound better than the clear housing versions that are now commonplace, but nothing special. A light tactile that would probably greatly benefit from being lubed, a switch that is a tier above the cheaper browns on prebuilts.

Thank you, I appreciate it! Do they have any resale value? I probably won't ever use them.

Not sure about the resale value they could have since they are not common, but I don't see them selling for much. The only basic Kailh switch that people really buy is the Kailh black and that is mainly for parts since the stem can be used to make popular frankenswitches. Selling them for the 15+shipping you paid, is probably your best bet since for around 20 dollars there are better tactiles like the Gateron G pro browns, so it is hard for others to justify buying an older worse switch for more.
