Description of ๐Ÿ”˜ Halo Clear Keyboard Switches by Massdrop

SMOOTH CONSISTENT & SUPER SATISFYING: Give your keyboard a tactile smooth and precisely weighted feel with the Drop Halo Clear Switch Pack (70 pcs). MEDIUM TO HEAVY TACTILE SWITCHES: With the rise of medium-to-heavy tactile switches over the years the Halo Clears precisely emulate the weight of fan-favorite Cherry MX Clear switches with the smoothness of a Halo switch. DEVELOPED BY JACOB ALEXANDER: (HaaTa) These custom switches combine the best attributes Topre 55g and Cherry MX Clear which results in near perfect consistency and smoothness with each keypress. PRE-LOADED: These switches come preloaded and offer an interesting pop during activationโ€”similar to the force curve found in Topres. COMPATIBILITY: Halo switches are compatible with plate-mounted Cherry-style PCB's and are perfect for hot-swap compatible barebones kits such as the Drop ALT, CTRL, Carina, Tokyo60, SHIFT, Planck and Preonic. The 90-pack is tailor-made for the Drop ALT keyboard.

Heavy but good switches

The switches require surprisingly more force to operate than the Kailh Blue (click), Razer Green (click), and Razer Red (linear) switches I've used. Before. However, the end result of Bump seems great and consistent when compared to the Cherry MX Browns (Soft Bump) I've tried in stores and the Gateron Browns that were already on my Glorious GMMK before I swapped them out. Even with a hard trigger, I can already feel the hit before I hit the bottom, but I like the sound so much that they keepโ€ฆ

Smooth silent bliss.

I've been using mechanical keyboards for quite some time. Starting with a typical mid-range gaming board with Cherry MX dongles. While Cherry MX adheres to high quality standards, that doesn't mean others don't. I've used Halo True Switches (Kaihua) in the past and wanted to try them out on a new custom mech for work. They have nice subtle tactile feedback and don't click annoyingly like cherry blues. When lubricated and properly maintained, these wrenches are a pleasure to use. The mainโ€ฆ

Not the best feel out there, but still solid

First, these switches mimic the tactile feel that Topre offers. Sure, the tactile feel is reminiscent of the Topre, but the switch's heaviness completely kills its feel. The shaft is fairly smooth and improves with lubrication. The bottom of this switch is very tight and resonant. Through these switches, RGB shines well. But with not very well. Topre is a derailleur that delivers pronounced thrust with reasonable actuation forces: 45g and 55g. The Halo Clear weighs 60 grams and the 78 grams ofโ€ฆ
