I’ve seen these mentioned in a few places as a promising new budget option, but there’s very little commentary on them. They come in linear and tactile varieties with different spring weights available. Is the factory lube decent?

The price seems hard to beat - and as an 1800-layout user, the price for ~100 switches can add up fast!

Haha, you are probably right about the lube! I am relatively new to the hobby and haven't crossed that bridge yet. With other responsibilities and all, it's a lot of time to commit.

I definitely know what you mean about AliExpress, it would be quite a wait. Fortunately I'm in no rush, more like I'm just curious to try something new.

It was the first mod I did. It's really not as bad as you might think. I find it therapeutic, I don't drop hours on it. I would normally do 20-25 a night while watching a TV show.
