Out of the box these switches are great, lube job was good, wobble is at an extreme minimum. I say this with multiple years experience behind me, this isn't my first rodeo. Of course I modded mine, so added .15mm PC films (.125 should also work) and three stage springs with tight tolerances. I chose a long pole like this as I put them in a board that is foamed up completely with a full plate, in other words it's stiff and muted, and the long poles bring about a lovely sound that compensates for this. All in all, modded these are my favorite linears to date. Sure the stroke is short thanks to the long pole, but I in the end I feel like I'm typing on a machine when using em, an extremely exact machine that sounds and feels great. Just incredible, don't miss out.
