Base: Epomaker Aura75Switches: Gateron Milky YellowKeycaps: Mintcaps PBT Doubleshot gradient purple backlit OEM Profile side printedMods: 3-layered Tape (painters, electrical, packing)As this was a barebones build, I'll be leaving a review of each part below in the order of the description above-The base is beautiful! The fact that you can change the keyboard design and the RGB sidelight independently of one another is so nice. There are several modes, though the lack of software with an interface makes customization limited. The stabilizers are as good as you'll need and contribute to keeping a nice sound. It is very easy to take apart for modding purposes and only has about 4 screws past the housing and 2 ribbon cables. If you're tape modding, just make sure you dont cover the switch to change between win/usb/mac on the bottom (shhh I would NEVER do that! :))) )-These switches really do live up to their name. I was doing my first build, and I was a huge fan of the yellows over several other switches I tried through a few sponsor samples. I ended up switching out my spacebar for an oil king but that was just because I had it so why not, I would not go out of my way to do so if doing another build. Oil kings are a bit too expensive, cherry mx just doesn't sound great to me, panda and lynx aren't bad but less creamy, kangaroos are too poppy, and the lunar mare are nice but not my style (my girl likes them). These are a reliable starting point for sure.-These are by far the best keycaps I have tried; that's between a set of XVX gradient keycaps of the same design for half the price, 3d printed keycaps that I got the blueprint online for, a set of Epomaker keycaps, Pudding keycaps from Glorious, and the g-skill crystal crowns. These feel more premium than that of the similar design by XVX, as they have a good weight to them, a nice matte feel, and don't feel hollow to type on like a lot of cheaper keycaps. The pudding keycaps have a similar feel but didn't fit the aesthetic or color scheme I was looking for. This is the only side-printed, mid-high quality, non-flat keycaps with a decent color variety that I could get my hands on through amazon. The only setback could be that the shine-through on the caps isn't amazing, but i personally didn't want it to be too intrusive. They were bright enough to see the lettering, so that's good enough for me (yes, i have south facing LEDs). Not to mention, the unique font that comes with these keycaps is the icing on the cake for me, the blocky look seems techier, not to mention more readable for me. 5 Stars, no question, worth the bit of extra money.

I have been happy with these. Easy set up, switch quality feels great to the fingers before place them in the keyboard. Noise level is to a minimum. The color yellow is amazing it’s not a different yellow it’s as advertised. Functional, they have not failed me. Love the cloudy color reduce the brightness on my keyboard when I leave it on and I’m in bed.

The switches feel great and where lubed perfectly at least in my honest opinion, I didn't have to do any self lubing or even add any films as the stems were not wobbly as people claimed for these switches to be, as they have been notorious for having bad stem wobble, but I genuinely have extremely little stem wobble from these switches. Overall they feel great, they are smooth to type on, and offer a nice thocky and creamy sound profile on my specific keyboard, if you enjoy linears that have a decent weight to them and want a smooth typing experience, this is the switch for you

The media could not be loaded. this is an AMAZING product. it made my keyboard sound, and feel 10x better. it was pretty easy to install on my keyboard. it made my keyboard lights a little dim.. but it functions really well. i definitely recommend!

This is the second Gateron switch I’ve bought and I have to say that I really like it but there are some nitpicks and one big issue.These look really nice with the milky housing and they are extremely quiet but with a nice low pitched thock. They actuate pretty quickly as well.All the switches worked right out of the box and fit into the mounting plate very easily and secure well.You do sacrifice some LED brightness and sharpness so I don’t recommend using shine through caps with these unless they are pudding. I recommend using thick caps as these feel heavier than the operating force would suggest, but I like my switches between 45g & 60g so this is a great middle ground. Go with whatever keycap profile you like but I recommend MAO, SA, and OEMThe biggest issue was that the pre-lube was absolutely terrible. Some looked bone dry but as I looked closer I saw that the lube was accumulating on the bottom housing and just a smidge on the rails. The springs and poles were not lubed. Maybe the stock lube was either old or low quality, but it made some of the switches sticky when they bottom out.I spent 4 hours lubing all 90 switches by hand and I did my best to spread the original lubricant. I did find it relaxing and it was my first time hand lubing switches, it was very time consuming but ultimately worth it as these are some of the best feeling switches I’ve ever used.Just be prepared for inconsistency with the pre-lube and I recommend these only if you’re into hand lubricating your switches.

great for both typing and gaming. super smooth keystroke right out of the box. have that clean and thocky sound i been wanting for a good price.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I bought these for my new keyboard and let me tell you, they are good, sounds like heaven, the only problem was that they are a smaller opening and are less clear so it made the rgb less bright by about 30-35%~ id say but not a big thing, will quickly get used to it and it will get overshadowed

I completely overlooked how important the rest of the keyboard is to the sound. I once had the mindset that the right switches would produce the right sound. I was kind of disappointed with these at first, but I finally decided to listen and actually do something to mod the keyboard. I have a Glorious GMMK 3, and I got a Polycarbonate board. The only foam I left on is the PCB foam between the board and the plate. I covered the bottom of the PCB with masking tape, and only then did I get the creamy sound I was looking for! I'm currently also using flex gaskets. Next step is to get ceramic keycaps and make my thocky dream come true. As for these switches, they feel great, are smooth, and feel kind of plushy! I absolutely love them. They sound wonderful once you take the time to mod the keyboard in other ways, too.
