The click is there, but.

Overall, these switches are fairly standard blue switches with exactly the clickiness you would expect from a blue switch. However, I have these installed alongside some Cherry MX Brown RGB switches, and the lighting on these switches is noticeably weaker than the Cherry ones. It's by no means a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of. Additionally, some of the pins come slightly bent out of the box, so it is easy to install the switches incorrectly. Once installed, however, they work great.

Pros

Its black-shell construction not only makes it durable and long-lasting, but also adds a sleek and attractive look to any mechanical keyboard. Plus, its compatibility with SMD RGB light-pack 20 makes it a great option for those who want to personalize their keyboard with colorful lighting effects

Cons

The 3-pin Black-Shell design of the switches may not be compatible with all keyboards, particularly those with non-standard layouts or form factors. This could limit the usefulness of the switches for users looking to upgrade their mechanical keyboard without having to replace the entire device
