CanadaOne of the best tho my switch so smooth
United StatesExcellent customer service and fast shipping. Even got a hand written letter! Definitely recommend anyone who is building a keyboard go and buy their supplies from KeebsForAll.
United StatesOut the box, these are the smoothest switches I tried. Little to no scratch noises stock. If you don’t feel like lubing then definitely get these. If you do lube them, it’s the best you’ll get!
