Their factory lubing is ass tbh. They're hella loud so they need a fair amount of krytox because tribosys didn't do shit. But after krytox they're smooth as silk while still retaining a nice chunky tactility assuming you avoided the legs. Plus they sound like the building sound from the Lego games, which is great.

Gateron yellow pro 2.0 or leobog graywood v2 and above pretty much don't need to be lubed. They don't have cherry interference either.

But imo the best sounding budget linear is the akko rose red. Definitely benefits from lubing but not filming.

Tactiles you can grab some akko cs lavenders for poppy full sound, but they need a fair amount of krytox (avoiding the legs) to not sound like a machine gun. After that though they're nice and medium sounding, super poppy and crisp. The way I'd describe them is the Lego building sound from the Lego games. These are by far my favourite. For more flat but softer sound the jelly purples with krytox will fit that bill. Besides these I haven't found any tactiles that do it for me.

Visually yes they are, and really apply more to 7u spacebars.

Though more importantly to me they have the added benefit of giving you slightly larger ctrl and alt keys, and makes the win key harder to hit by accident. For me that means 0 accidental win key presses when crouching, or since I play MMOs keyboard style, when I'm hitting an additional hotbar combi (i.e. alt+something).

And if I wanna rage quit, they give me a nice big alt key to alt F4 with XD

I nearly made the same mistake when I got my Tiger Lite. For some reason in my head it was a 6.25u spacebar because I didn't read the layout properly, so luckily I double checked before buying my tx stabs. When I actually got it built PBTfans was nice enough to include the 7u bar in an additional bottom row with the tsangan caps in my neons, which helped me not to forget again lol.
