Cherry MX Black Hyperglide Linear Switch

I have been using these switches for about 2 and a half years now and man let me tell you. They are better than anything I have ever used once you break them in. My go-to switch has always been Gatoron Black Ink Box. But after an extensive break-in period and a rather generous amount of Krytox 205g0. I can now say these are my favorites. The break-in period does take a lot longer than any other switch I currently own. But once you get through that, these are amazing. At least for me, I can safely say that nothing compares. They have a very crisp feel to them and they sound very good especially after you lube them. The delayed gratification due to such a long break in period is actually a very nice surprise. Because your body gets used to things over time, once you have these broken in and you go from a new set of these or different switches altogether and then back to these, that is when you really realize how good these truly are. Just be prepared to break them in for a while. These switches are like fine wine, they only get better with age.

Scratchy but unique

Cherry mix blacks are great budget switches. They sound a little bit scratchy when they first come in, but breaking them in and lubing them a bit really improves the sound! I got the blacks because I was going for a more thocky sound and they do not disappoint! I definitely prefer these cherry blacks to the cherry red, brown, or blue. Will be buying more in the future.
