Review on NovelKeys X Kailh Cream Switch 4Pin RGB SMD Linear 55G Force 5Pin Mx Clone Switch For Backlit Mechanical Keyboard 50M (Cream Switch X10) by Rich Rickenbaugh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing grease switch

I don't mind waiting for delivery but there are a few things to look out for. They are really prickly and terrible. At first I thought I had fake creams but I'm glad I was wrong. After greasing, the feel of the switch disappears and it's really amazing. Lubricated with foam, it's become my go-to until/or when I find something better. Bring some black ink and we'll see. Great mid-range line. Do yourself a favor and buy the kryotox 205g0 if you plan on ordering this switch. You won't regret the experience if you put in the extra effort. I'll go as far as to say that they're endgame worthy for me, or at least that's how I feel about them on my motherboard at the moment. Oh, and do yourself a favor like I did and pair it with aluminum or even poly. The noise of the switch seems to be very loud on brass for some reason. Foam for the case also seemed to be a necessity. I didn't notice any haptic difference when using the tablet, but the sound was significantly quieter.

Cons
  • packaging is ugly
