Novelkeys Cream MX SMD 5 Pin RGB Switches for Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (10 pcs, Novelty Cream)

The media could not be loaded. The NK Cream switches are pretty smooth feeling and nice sounding switches, IF you are willing to deal with some of the caveats that these switches bring. Out of the box, these things are SCRATCHY! I wouldn't expect a smooth feeling switch to have a sound that is equivalent to using chalk on a sidewalk along with stock spring crunch. However, if you decide to lube these switches with some 205g0, these will slightly improve these ailments. BUT, if you want them to be great, these have to be broken in. If you can put in the effort and put some wear and tear on these, and rotate switches that aren't being used as much (ex. alpha keys vs. modifiers) along with maybe lubing them again after heavy usage, these can become a strong mid tier switch. As far as the bottoming out sound, it is reminiscent of shaking a spray paint can, which can either be pleasant or unbearing to some (it's all about preference). Overall, a pretty good switch.

I've been using these key switches for the last 3 years. They're nice and light, I prefer them over my cherry mx browns.

it's a decent switch for sure. No need to pay resale though as these restock regularly and stay in stock on amazon for a while.Creams are a linear switch that have a nice sound and feel after being broken in. Initially you will hear/feel that there is some scratchiness because the housing and the stem are made from the same POM material. But if you add a little bit of lube (they're thirsy switches so it'll get worn off fast) and break them in, it will be a much more enjoyable experience.However, there is a lot of hype for these. They're NOT worth paying resell for them. $1.50 a switch? Come on, yall. Don't throw your hard earned money away like that. They're not THAT good.Side note: these things smell like sh**. Some say it smells like fish food or chemicals or cancer but they stink...let them air out before brining them into your office lol.

Zealios are really hard to find so I cannot comment directly on how they are a community favorite. However, I was intrigued by the reviews on Youtube and decided to purchase this one. This one was sent standard shipping but the package got to me 2 weeks earlier than the date range. I have to say this company is top notch. This is the fourth buy including the Kailh Burnt Orange switches and the GK61 diy keyboards and everything was packaged nicely to protect the product. Anyways, these switches actuate early and is linear until you bottom out. The tactility is more subtle than the Kailh Burnt Orange but just above a Gateron Brown. I think it is very smooth. The Cherry MX blues and the Kailh Box Jades are still my favorites but I do like the diversity of the tactile switches like the Burnt Orange and this Pro Purple. I am not sure over time if I prefer these switches or the Burnt Orange as my favorite tactile switches. I think for some enthusiasts or gamers who love linear switches, these may be the ones. I find myself bottoming out more often when typing then the Box Jades or the Burnt Oranges. My only negative thought is that these switches, unlike the box switches, have a little wobble.

Bought an EVGA keyboard with terrible speed switches, replaced them with two sets of the speed bronze and they work great. Just the right amount of tactile bump with the smoothness of speed switches. Every single one worked perfectly and not a bad switch in the bunch.Got here from China in about one week as well for a good price, would buy again if the need arises.

Thankfully I don't need all 90 switches but you'd expect to get 90 switches when you pay for 90 switches.They came in a plastic tube with some bubble wrap to fill up the empty space in the tube. Highly recommend lubing them as stock they sound fairly horrible, but I got these specifically for frankenswitching as the stems are amazing.

Came quickly in a nice case, no damage to the switches. everything was functional

I ordered some Novel Key Cremes to try out. First, they feel extremely linear in their houses. I could only feel the bump after I opened and gently lubed the spring. Sounds weird, right? The is nothing wrong with these switches, but they were not for me. Even after some Krytox 203, they felt really stiff, but they do sound good.I ended up Frankensteining mine by removing the cream stem and replacing it with a gateron brown steam. Surprisingly, it feels exactly like a zealios 62 or an Everglide Black with a more pronounced bump and with a curve, but way more easier on the fingers. They sound nicer too. I want to buy some coppers, burgundy, and purples and play around with them.
