KiiBoomLinear 54gf Sapphire Mechanical Keyboard Switch, 5 Pin Switch with PC Stem, Translucent PC Housing, 35 Pieces for Gaming DIY Keyboard

After lubing these switches, I noticed that they were incredibly smooth and nice sounding. I would definitely recommend these to a friend. 10/10 love em

Amazing key switches, with enough lube they sound thocky. I really love these switches. they are very smooth and nice. very good if you love creamy and thocky keyboards.

We purchased these on Prime Day, but I would purchase these regardless of the sale at their normal price point if I were looking for this sound profile. What do I mean by that, well, they're lightly lubed at the factory. and I mean *lightly lubed* but they sound good and have a moderately deep sound to them. They feel nice to type on and fit well in to a PC plate. They were easy to take apart and enhance the lube, which made them sound even better. The lilac color will very subtly change your RGB, but the trans lactescent housing lets a decent amount of RGB through so that's good as well. I like these switches and would recommend them, especially if you're going for a complete lilac colorway.

Big fan of linears, have tried Cherry reds, Gateron reds, Outemu reds, and Gazzew Boba Gums - all unmodded/unlubed The KiiBoom pink roses are the first pre-lubed switches I've tried, but they're just a bit too clacky stock. For this build, I was looking to get some good thoccs, so I was pretty set on lubing these myself. If you don't want to go through the trouble, you really don't need to unless you care about getting a good thocc, but that said, the factory lube is literally just a couple quick, visible white smears in the rails on the bottom housing and that's it.The build on the KiiBoom pink roses is super solid and tolerances are great. You do not need to film these (and probably should not). I tried as a test and there is no noticeable difference in sound/feel, and even with thin films, there was a slight distortion of the legs going into the clips.

I noticed these switches have a clacky sound to them but a nice tactile feedback. I do love them so I will try and use them in another build but if you want more of a thocky switch this might not be it.

These were perfect my wife bought me these for Christmas and I absolutely love how silent they are when I type, had to order a second set to finish the keyboard. Only issue I had was the pins bent on me when I was changing them which highly my fault just becare when you line them up once I bent them I couldn’t use them even after I bent them back. Still would recommend these as the fault was of my own

First off, I'm so happy I found these. They're the perfect color to match my keyboard, and the translucent color is lovely (my keyboard is also translucent so it's a double match). They have faint tactile feedback, and to be fair, I was kind of hoping for more tactile feedback, but they're still nice. As for the sound, they're not clicky, but more thocky. Tested the sound with the keyboard's stock caps and the keycaps that I ordered.I'll be real though, I prefer aesthetics over the sound or the feedback. I'm a fake keyboard enthusiast LOL but as far as aesthetics go, they're top tier.Do be careful though, if you're using lighting on your keyboard, the lights DO get filtered through the colored plastic and aren't true to color. This made getting a color for my keyboard lighting a little tricky, but it's fine.For everyday use, mostly typing, these are fine. I'm not sure if people who use the keyboard during gaming sessions would like them, though.

I think whoever designed these is brilliant, but whoever manufactures them might not be. These are specced out to be the absolute perfect tactile for gaming and typing for me. They have just a slightly reduced travel and actuation which I really like. The tactile bump is right up top where I believe it should be. Additionally it is 5 pin, a nice touch. Also uses 4 leg MX housings rather than the Kalih clamshell design that is miserable to open. So literally flawless design and remind me much of Boba U4T switches which is the only other switch I know of to even be similar.What I don’t like is the quality. It’s… rough. The bottom housings have some flaking from the injection molding process that can be trimmed with a blade or just ignored - Not a big deal just reduces the premium feel. The top housings are quite fragile, I’ve opened probably a thousand switches on the same switch opener in my keyboard days and for the first time ever I actually broke the housing. TWELVE times. The top housings are quite brittle and the legs simply shatter sometimes, even when being careful and gentle. So an 11% failure rate in my sample. Yikes.Also despite the “self lubricating POM stem”, I strongly encourage any buyer to lube these, they are relatively scratchy outside the box and sound pretty bad. Lubed however, they actually sound excellent, a pretty significant difference beyond most switches.So KiiBoom if you wanna make a V2 of these, I think that’s a great idea. These kinda feel like prototypes, but you’ve got an A+ design with a D level quality. I wanna love these and I’d love to test out some more! There’s a brilliant switch hiding in here, it just needs some work.

I like typing on these Taro switches. Pretty nice medium tactile switch. It reminds me somewhat of a kailh pro purple but with a better sound signature. It has a little, tiny pretravel like zealios v1. I think anyone who likes a moderate tactile would be happy with this switch. It’s a bit more tactile than cherry clear.

If your looking for creamy clicky switches the taro is the way to go

ある方のレビュー動画を見て購入しました。見た目も綺麗でコツコツととてもいい音です。趣味で使うので良かったですが、少し音が大きい印象があります。今回購入したのが必要最低限の35ピースなので、また購入して完璧にしたいと思います。

These switches are almost identical to lubed glorious panda yellow switches and cheaper. I would say these switches are better for stem wobble than the panda's. I was looking for a different experience but found them so identical that I just opted to return them and try something else.
