If you like MX clear switches this is good alternative! If you like a strong tactile feel, this is the switch for you. Review: An excellent tactile switch, round and cushiony - I'm not the most well versed in the sphere of mechanical switches by a long shot, but I've tried out a few for at least a week in various keyboards over the years I've hovered on the edge of the hobby — the Cherry MX Clears (my previous favorite), Greens, and Blues, Gateron Browns and Reds, Drop Holy Panda Xs and Glorious Pandas, and of course now Drop Halo Trues. Out of all of them, the Halo Trues are hands-down my favorite. They have a noticeable, big, round tactile bump beginning right at the start of the key's travel that somehow also manages to be rich, sustained, smooth as butter and not jarring at all (unlike the Pandas, where the round tactile bump was jarring enough to be painful). That tactile bump guides you beautifully to the actuation point, which is at 1.9mm, so before even half of the key's travel is through, and then the force curve jumps rapidly up after the actuation, vaulting right past the peak tactile bump force and actuation force almost immediately and them climbing linearly with the steepest slope I've ever seen in a force curve graph for a switch to the end of the key's luxuriously full travel. Not only does this feel amazing, but it also means that if you press the key with only enough force to get past the peak of the tactile bump and then actuate the switch (which actually requires less force than most similarly heavy tactiles do), you will very quickly have all of that momentum stopped by gently cushioning, rewarding travel that then bounces your finger up to reach the next key. And with the way the tactile feedback guides you, you know exactly where in the switch's travel the key actuates and exactly when you have or have not actuated it so you can quickly and accurately stop pressing as soon as a key is actually did and move on to the next key without any wasted time bottoming out, without needing it to have a scratchy and sudden tactile bump right in the middle of the truffle that leads people to call tactile switches like browns and clears "scratchy linears." This means that for someone like me who has carpal tunnel and tendonitis, the typing experience of these switches is not only just really rewarding and feels really good, but also prevents flare-ups of pain. I like this switch so much it's made me want to type just for tight things to see, which is not something I've felt before. So although a lot of people call this a mediocre switch and suggest turning into a holy panda, I actually don't think either those things are true. This is a really excellent tactile switch in its own right, with a set of features that you basically can't find combined into one switch anywhere else (decently long travel, round and rewarding attack tile bump right at the top of the travel, heavy bottoming out weight, and a spring that has a very high slope). Just if you're looking for exactly these intersection of features, this is basically the best switch you can get anywhere, which makes its mid-tier price excellent value. ## Features - SMOOTH CONSISTENT & SUPER SATISFYING: Give your keyboard a tactile yet ultra-smooth feel with the Drop Halo True Switch Pack (90 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.

If anything changes, I'll update the review. *by P***S on 16 January 2021* Installed in a Glorious GMMK TKL hotswappable keyboard. As someone who has only used MX Browns and MX Silents in the past, these were a major step up in keyfeel and sound. To get the negatives out of the way first, (at least in this specific chassis) these switches have spring ping. Like, A LOT of it. A whimsical, absurd amount of it. Also, the tactile bump has the slightest hint of scratch to it, but a simple lube job would fix this and then some. These are more tactile than, say MX Browns. The tactility is definitely noticeable, but not over the top or too alien-feeling or anything like that. It's the exact kind of tactile feedback that I've been looking for, granted they can definitely benefit from being lubed, as I already said. Besides the stated pinginess, these switches have the potential to sound beautiful. Stock, mounted in an unmodded GMMK, they have a slight thocc factor, but they are a little bit higher than I would want. A unique (I think?) feature that these switches have is that the top housing has a light pipe kind of protrusion that sticks down through the bottom housing, to better carry up the light from those LEDs that sit flat on the PCB. For the RGB fanatics out there, this is a fantastic feature. BUT this makes these switches incompatible with the LEDs that pop up through the switch. Overall, after the first day of use, I love these switches and am excited to use them more. The 78g bottom out weight feels perfect for typing, but it is a bit stiff when it comes to gaming. I will probably spring-swap and lube these switches. But stock, as they are, they're an excellent starting point. Also, they make Holy Pandas. If you want those. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/255164139-drop-halo-true-mechanical-keyboard-switches-plate-mounted-tactile-60g](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/255164139-drop-halo-true-mechanical-keyboard-switches-plate-mounted-tactile-60g) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-28*
