Reply to comment by Heblehblehbleh in the best linear switch by Heblehblehbleh

I do. I lube all my switches. I think Banana Splits are slightly smoother than Tangerines and Oil Kings. Tangerines are slightly thoccy as are the Oil Kings. What sound are you going for?

Something that has a nice light and abit more high pitched bottom out sound almost like a creamy or licking(lol) sound. since my Yellows with pbt keycaps are quite low pitched thoccs.

Something like the Pink keyboard in this video which is using tealios. The third one is banana splits. Which still is very good imo.

I guess the question now is, how do the Tealioses compare in feeling to the others i have heard that silent switches have a mushy bottom out feel

Tealios switches are alright but there are better ones. The higher pitched sound from switches usually comes from a linear switch on an aluminum or Bronze plate. If it feels squishy on the bottom out it has been overlubed!

Could you give an example of better ones? Also I'm going to be using a brass plate, how will it make a difference?

telios are overpriced for what they are, I think that's what he wants to say

90% of silents in fact will be mushy, this is correct. But a non-silent switch should not.
