Description of πŸ’₯ Enhance Your Typing Experience with Massdrop Halo True Keyboard Switches

SMOOTH CONSISTENT & SUPER SATISFYING Give your keyboard a tactile yet ultra-smooth feel with the Drop Halo True Switch Pack (70 pcs). MEDIUM TO HEAVY TACTILE SWITCHES As medium-to-heavy tactile switches have been a huge hit over the years the Halo Trues deliver a tactile feel with a lack of pre-load (tension at rest) and smooth press from start to finish. DEVELOPED BY JACOB ALEXANDER (HaaTa) These custom switches achieve minimal resistance while retaining a tactile feel resulting in near perfect consistency and smoothness with each keypress. PRE-LOADED These switches come with a feather-light preload to give a tactile feel without slowing down your typing. 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

Smooth silent bliss.

I've been using mechanical keyboards for a long 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 main difference

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

These are pretty bad switches, but they're great for holy beans.

I've seen a lot of people compare these switches to Topre, but that's not entirely true. The Topre has a really round curve from start to finish, this one still has a clear curve at the very beginning. It's a bit longer, but definitely not what I call "round". As far as how they feel, they're pretty bad. They're just as spiky as Cherry MX switches, combine that with a really subtle kick and you get something that's linear, tactile, and mediocre overall. A little bump doesn't have to be bad, but

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic shifting

Not the best tactile experience on the market, but still solid

First of all, these switches mimic the tactile experience 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 its

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No power
