So I finally got these switches intalled in my Rainy75 that I posted about the other day (YushaKobo), and I haven't seena lot posted online about these yet, so I thought I'd add my 10p.
I chose them because I'm on team tactile, not linear, so I needed some tac's to go in the Rainy which only ships with linears. I tried all of the tactiles in the giant switch testers at YushaKobo and this was the one I liked the feel of the best. I'd never heard of them before, but feels best is what feels best, so it wasn't a hard decision.
I think it was the lightest of the tactiles in their testers, but I wouldn't call it light. More of a medium weight IMHO. I'm coming from 65g Zealios R1 and the actuation force is very similar to that. The bottom-out force is a bit lighter, as the Zealios have a cushiony spring that ramps up the resistance, whereas these kinda just collapse after the bump, in a really satisfying way.
The bump I would describe as a medium. Defo more than the "scratchy red" of the old MX Brown. Pretty similar again to the Zealios, but with less pre-travel. It actually kinda reminds me of the HHKB/Topre a little. The bump is right at the top, then smooth, then it collapses to bottom-out. I guess the bump is longer than with topre tho.
The sound, OMFG the sound! It's a LOT deeper than the stock HMX Violets on the Rainy. It sounds soooo much better. I might have a hard time persuading myself to rip out the case foam and add a tape mod to the pcb chasing even deeper sounds, because this already sounds amazing. This was one of the things that put me off getting a full alu board for a long time, so many recordings, and that one I tried at a meetup once upon a time, where they just go tink tink tink and people call that thocky for some reason? With the stock violets this was not thocky at all. Now it is, and I like it!
There's NO wobble. My old Zealio R1's are extremely wobbly so I wanted something that fixed that, but probably everything these days is fine. The stock violet switches also have basically no wobble, but the BigLucky's do indeed have slightly less.
So there it is. Basically a rave review, but I don't really have a lot of modern switches to compare to.
