This review is coming from someone that likes mechanical keyboards, but isn't a full blown hobbyist. It's for the silent red variant.
I'm comparing these to the Boba U4s and the Gamakay Phoenix switches: both silents. Switch preference is a personal thing, so I'll try to put this in terms that could apply to everyone.
Why you might like this:
- The actuation force is good and firm, but not too high. If you don't like switches that engage when you accidentally brush up against them, then you'll like this.
- They feel solid and come from a known brand.
- Out of the box, to me, they sound fine. No need to lube unless you want an extra umph.
- If you work in an office, unmute yourself while typing, or want to keep things quiet around yourself or others, this switch will fit the bill.
- They don't feel scratchy to me compared to the U4s.
Why you might not like this:
- If you want shine-through, this keycap isn't made for that. RGB will be muted.
- Prefer really low actuation forces? Look elsewhere.
- Don't like the cherry design for keycaps because of wobble? I don't really notice wobble, but I don't pay that close of attention to it. If there is natural wobble, it's not bad enough compared to the other keycaps I've used.
- As with many silent switches, the sound is muted, and many might feel like this makes the keys feel "squishy". I don't agree with the squishiness, but I'm not a connoisseur.
Do I recommend?
YES. I received the 10 piece package, and currently use it for my separate numpad. It's a close call between this and the Boba U4s, since they are most similar in actuation force, but if they showed RGB a bit better, I could easily see myself using these as my daily switches for my current keyboard. You want to try silent switches out? These could be the ones for you.

As a touch typist since high school I've come to the conclusion that Cherry blue switches are the best for me. They have a short throw and solid tactile feedback and pleasingly audible click. It's like I'm getting rewarded every time I type a key.
The throw of the switches is relatively long at 2.2mm of their total 4mm travel and take a force of 60 cN to operate. This is on the higher effort side verses other key switches. This is perfect for me because I learned to type on a real, physical typewriter and already use a lot of force when typing (my fingers are SO strong!).
If you too are a touch typist that likes that click sound and want a positive feedback from your keyboard these are the exact type of switches you'll love; I know I do.
Very importantly these are original Cherry MX switches packaged and resold by Keymecher, German for key Mecher, so you're getting the real thing and it shows.
One thing to keep in mind is this version of the switches is not meant for RGB keyboards, the black switches mostly block out the RGB. If you have an RGB keyboard you'll want to get these switches in the RGB version that's clear.
