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 love these switches. There is a reason they're usually the number 1 selling switches. I've always been a tactile kind of person but I've noticed when I play too many games I start getting pain in my hand and arm. Come to find out I have ulnar tunnel syndrome and tactile switches seem to make it flare up when I game too much. I bought these switches because I heard great things about them and now I am only using these switches on all my keyboards (I have 1 for my desktop, 1 for my laptop, and 1 for my work office). They're super smooth, I dont ever hear any ping coming from the springs. They make a pleasant sound and aren't loud but a lot of that comes down to keyboard setup and keycaps. They aren't expensive at all imo so thats a huge bonus too. Been using them for about a year now and I haven't ever had an issue with durability / dead switches. Idk about light pass through though, I dont like having lights on on my keyboards.

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

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.

so very creamy. easy to swap in and sound amazing. not only that but they feel great. they also feel pretty strong which is great

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.

I've been using these switches for about a week now and I love them so far. They feel and sound buttery smooth with a great amount of give to them. The sound is satisfying without being too loud.

I bought these to replace the dying keys in my Redragon keyboard and these are way better sounding and feeling than the stock keys that came with it.
