CK x Haimu Pastel Thistle Tactile Switch

Deeper more subdued thock than I anticipated, which is nice for a closed office space / home office, but maintains the tactile bump that I usually associate with a louder thock. Feels lighter than suggested but still has that noticeable bump that we all love.

I picked these up on sale, but wasn't expecting much. I have almost all of the popular tactile in my collection like Boba u4t and Azure blue dragons to name only a couple. These are not only one of the most tactile switches I have now, but they also sound amazing. Kind of a deeper creamy sound in my Zoom 65, though this board with all the foam tends to make most switches sound that way. They have a perfect snap/fit in the board as well as a nice perfect fit with my Osume cherry prof keycaps. The factory lube felt consistent, and I don't feel any need to lube/film them myself. The only downside for me at least, is that these are a tad bit heavier than I was expecting. My primary Boba U4T's are the 72g spring version, and these feel closer to a 75+g in terms of the force. After a day of use though, they felt normal. That said, even at normal price these are a better deal than Boba's!

This is a unique feeling switch that punches above its price point. Imagine budget Neapolitan's with a very pronounced clacky tactile event. Little wobble, good (light) factory lube.

Sharp tactile bump, loud and clacky. Springs are a little crunchy out of the box, but factory lube is good everywhere else. Very good deal for .35 each
