At least they're not Gateron blues.

True. I had a keyboard with Gateron Blue once and they're so bad. My brother took the same keyboard, but with Outemu Blue and it felt so much more tactile and solid, for 2/3rd of the price. With Gateron Blue you can literally feel the click mechanism working, it's not a good feeling. I feel scammed by all the keyboard related sites placing these in top 10.

That being said I'm not using them anymore and I would definitely not recommend. Just go with Outemu or pay more for BOX.

If I had to use a click jacket switch I would probably just go with broken-in MX blues because they sound the least unpleasant and the weighting is nice enough. With Gateron you can actually feel the click jacket sliding around inside of the housing and they feel super...chalky? That's the best way I can describe them.

As of right now one of my current boards has Gateron pro yellows installed and those are really fantastic out of the box if you don't feel like spending 6 hours lubing. Not the most consistent factory lube but gets the job done if you're lazy like me.
