These became my favorite switches and I love everything about them, how they sound and how they feel . They have an odd almost slightly tactile feel for a linear that I actually think is a nice . My main issue with these switches though is that despite how much I like them individual switches began to die out rather quickly for some odd reason more or so more than most switches Ived had. I had to already replace around 3-4 because they began missing inputs occasionally and causing some issues that were more noticeable whike gaming than typing (except for the space bar that was very noticeable) . I am not exactly sure why these seem to be dying out individually so quickly but otherwise I think it’s a great switch.
Switched a board from work to gaming, went from IK tactiles to IK linears - same great poppy sound, no bumpy clicky bit. Perfect!
Soooo smooth and amazing to use out of the box
Deep clack, full sounding and loud - love it!
I personally do not like the top out sound as it can sound very plasticky on certain keys. I believe this is due to the polycarb top-housing. This plasticky top-out sound is also present in the Ice Kacang Tactiles.
Some of the switches may have a sort of a "syringe-effect" as well where you feel like you are pushing through a small pocket of air - this goes away after some break-in.
