I'm a fan of heavy tactile switches as they're fun for my large heavy fingers to type on. The spring weight is just right and I enjoy the large, prominent tactile bump. These switches tick all the boxes and I'm using them stock, without bothering to lube and film them. They sound great and feel great to the point where I want to buy another batch to install in another keyboard.

These switches are an improvement on the stalwart Durock T1's in every way. The long-pole with nylon bottom housing creates a pleasant lower mid-range "thock." I can't tell if these switches actually sound smoother or if the long-pole is just masking leaf tick better.The Blue Lotus also has zero pre-travel, so they are closer to Sunflowers in this respect. The long spring smoothes out the tactile event so that you may not bottom out on every key press, and the switches have a snappy return. The return event is not jarringly higher-pitched than the bottom-out, unlike polycarbonate Gateron Baby Kangaroo top housings.Stem wobble (which doesn't actually matter in real-world use) seems to be improved vs. normal T1's, but not as insanely tight as the Durock Sunflowers. I actually found the extremely low wobble on the Sunflowers a little uncomfortable. These also sound significantly deeper and more pleasant than Sunflowers, due again to the nylon bottom housing. Also, the stems do a much better job holding keycaps vs. my Sunflower set.The keypress has almost full travel, but there seems to be just enough clearance if you want to use Cherry-profile keycaps on a north-facing PCB. I've only tested this with DCX keycaps as I don't have a GMK set.

I actually wanted to try these because I wasn't sure how these compared to other Durock/T1 style switches. I love the blend of housing and the LED diffusion screen that comes with these switches, and they felt better than expected to my hands!
