MELETRIX WS Grey Tactile Mechanical Keyboard Lubed Switches(35pcs)

My absolute favorite switch from my favorite brand, I don't care about the price because I build keyboards all the time and these sound and feel amazing I love WS so much!

I was a linear switch guy before I tried WS Heavy Tactile. I am a heavy typer and I love the feel and the how WS Heavy tactile sound. The tactile feeling is just incredible, it makes me always wanted to type something, LOL.

These aren’t just great for the price but great switches overall. Can’t say I am a switch expert but this is the 5th tactile I have tried since my mechanical keyboard journey began a few months ago and it is by far the best. The switches look and feel durable out of the box. I appreciated that they were packaged in a tray with each switch separated from the other to avoid bending of pins. Tested these against two other tactiles; Gaeteron Purples and Durock T1s. T1s are my current go to. Idk If I need to lube them and that could have affected how they sound. T1s feel great. Anywho the side by side results. T1s feel great but are clicky clacky and may need to be lubed. Gaeteron purples sound nice and best I could describe is they are a higher pitched “thock” or pebble sound. These feel almost like linears. They down force is high but almost no noticeable bump. Then oh boy! These WS browns sound amazing straight out of the box. They have a deep marbly thocky sound. The feel has just enough of a bump, not too much. Also the down force needed is light and smooth. Overall these are my favorite tactiles I have tried so far.

I got these to replace the switches on my current 60% keyboard that came with red switches. I liked the red switches since they were linear which made them feel nice to type on and game with, but as I recently got more into rhythm games, the sound the switches made while gaming was very loud. I opted for these since they were advertised as silent switches, and they live up to that claim. These are like 10x quieter compared to the red switches but with the same linear feel. I will 100% be buying more to replace all the switches on my keyboard with these

I've been through a few different switches on my Asus ROG Azoth -The Azoth's stock switches (their in-house NX Reds) were very serviceable as MX Red clones, but needed some lube work to smoothen out. This also improved their sound profile, rounding off pitchy upper registers. So heads up if you have or get that keyboard: its stock switches are very serviceable especially after some tlc.Since I also do some productivity work in between gaming, I went ahead with a set of 62g Aqua Kings - MX Reds and their copycats are very light, which at least for me leads to more typos. Just inadvertently brushing against other keys can trigger them. With the Aqua Kings I think I made a mistake having the vendor lube and film them. More than a few keys felt overlubed or perhaps overfilmed to the point of slight interference, since they felt very sluggish on the return on top of feeling pretty heavy to type on, and I usually prefer higher force switches.So now I've converted the whole kb to these WS Quartz switches and I'm ecstatic about them. I opted to use them stock, and they feel just right at 60g (though I maintain that the Aqua King vendor overprocessed the lube and film work, since the difference feels far from 2g apart). One thing I didn't know about these is that they're actuated by a long, dual stage spring (whereas both the Azoth's stock switches and the Aqua Kings use regular ol' single stage springs), which makes the return feel snappy and the overall typing feel lively and bouncy. They're a joy to use, and a perfect hybrid switch for gaming and productivity. You still get the smooth linear action that suits gaming, but the snappy return acts as an extra mechanical feedback layer which helps out typework.I really can't think of cons for these switches outside of personal preferences. I find them more effective than single-stage spring linear switches for gaming, thanks to their snappier return that aids in rapid pressing. For productivity, they have the advantage of being quieter than clicky switches, and they close the gap in terms of typing feedback by incorporating dual-stage springs.There may still be better choices for either purely gaming or typing to be found in other switches, but if you're in that venn diagram overlap between those two use cases, these are hard to beat.
