ZugGear T1 Tactile Keyboard Switch, 67g Mechanical Key Switches, Unique Tactile Feelings, 5 Pins Tactile Switches for Mechanical Keyboards (20pcs, Smokey Housing)

Update Feb 2020: I finally got some holy pandas and zealios in a full board for comparison. I can clearly see that these t1's are nothing like the holy panda switch, and compare more closely to the Zealios v2 but being slightly less tactile and slightly more rattly. The holy panda switch bottoms on the center post of the stem rather than the rails on either side, which is what gives it the thocky and clean bottom out sound, also slightly reducing travel, so it's really a completely different switch. Tactility wise I think the t1 is actually more tactile, and still very very smooth. The only thing about the t1 that I don't like is that it has a very rattly/bouncey top out feel which is not present in zealios or pandas. Still worth 5 star rating considering the price and availability.Old review:I'm no expert on switches but I've been on the hunt for a better tactile switch option that is both easy to purchase (amazon?) and relatively cheap. I actually bought these switches as emergency replacements for a project with modified Cherry MX Clear switches with lighter springs (68g), but when i opened up the package I was completely shocked with how nice these felt. I ended up completely abandoning my cherry MX clear board and starting a new project with T1 switches.Ultimately I was able to find these switches much cheaper elsewhere (primekb) but in a pinch it's nice to grab a set of 10 or 20 on amazon. I tried to determine if these were any different than the other ones I purchased but found ultimately I could not tell the difference in key feel. The only difference I could see was the spring, and I would say the ZugGear ones from here actually look to be a slightly better mold quality, but it didn't seem to matter. I attached pictures showing the primekb (grey) vs the zuggear (green) T1's.I've never tried Zealios or Holy Pandas ... but compared to Cherry (clear, brown) or Kailh tactile switches (I've only tested in a switch tester...), these T1's feel vastly superior in my opinion. They're very smooth and almost overly-satisfying to type on...Edit 2: Still going strong with these - I now have experience with the Kailh Box Royal switches, and had the chance to try Zealios v2, Gat Browns/Silent Browns, and Aliaz switches, and would still take the T1 as top tier. They are not as tactile as Zealios v2, and have a higher pitch clack (bottom out) in comparison, but are way nicer/smoother than the Box Royal switch. Still waiting on Holy Panda's to show up from drop, and I still need to try zealios in more than just a switch tester.

There are little to no flaws in this switch. After lubing, it was better than then lubed tealios, Novelkey Creams, and is sub-par with Gateron Ink Blacks.PROS:- This is a switch that has the ultimate potential over almost every switch in the market. These are better than tealios switches. It comes decently smooth stock, and when lubed, it becomes on par with the gateron black inks smoothness. Here's how.- It's housing compatibility: Alone, the Durock Linears housing is fantastic. If you pair it with Novelkey Cream top housings, it's even better.- It's LIT springs: The springs are gold plated, and are 67g, which hits the sweet spot for many keyboard enthusiasts and gamers alike. It is free from ping and is a smooth operating spring.- It's gold plated in the contact points: nothing to say here, you probably know how it benefits from this anyway.- Premium quality at a sweet price: It is $14 for 20pcs. For a 60% keyboard, this is 48.88 including tax. Albeit this is a bit expensive, but considering the difference in price compared to others, this is a potential-packed switch.EDIT:This Switch is still great, but if you want an even better switch, get the C3 tangerines. This switch is so smooth. I got them for comparison, and they were way better. Smoother than blacks, tealios, and all of the rest; including these. What got me sold is that it was as cheap as these Durock Switches. It is definitely cheaper than the higher-end switches, yet it is smoother than them. You can still get the Durock Linear switches. They are very smooth, and I like it, but if you were to choose, get the C3 tangerines.

Ordered these out of curiosity - very few reviewers seem to cover them. Got the smoke and teal color way in case that affects the material choices in a way that affects sound/tactility - haven't tried the milky looking ones.These switches are very very tactile. I ordered a small quantity each of every tactile switch variant from novel keys to make my own switch tester out of a Massdrop ALT board for a bit to find the right switches for me. Knew I would go tactile, but didn't have an ideal weight. They are a little like box royals in terms of feel. The tug t-1s have little stem wiggle and are a little more weighty than many other switches. They are also close to the heavier zealio zilents, without being silent. My recommendation is to lube them. I used the lazy method of not taking the switch fully apart to lube them and it made a huge difference. The board sounds great now. They would likely benefit from adding switch film, but I'm too lazy to go down that route for now. For the price, these are pretty hard to beat, especially being available prime, unlike most GB orders or boutique Mech vendors.

I was skeptical with all the positive reviews. But wow.These switches are not like cherry mx tactile switches. It's the metal leaf in these that give it the unique bump. Imagine a vertical line, then a complete half-circle connected to the bottom. That's how the leaf is shaped.The bump is smooth and defined, but not too bold. It gives a delicious *clack* when bottoming out.I have outemu browns right now and they just pale in comparison. Low tactility, lots of wobble. These feel like a huge upgrade.I don't game much anymore so I gave four stars for gaming because while I'd be happy to game with these, generally linear switches are a top choice for gaming.Put some switch gap film on these T1s like I did and you have an excellent tactile switch. I type a lot and relatively quickly, so I was hell bent on getting a good clicky switch after buying a cherry mx switch tester. I think these have changed my mind. If you like tactile switches I highly recommend getting just one pack to try them out and return them if they're not for you.
