I'm pretty new to the world of hotswappable keyboards, with my current keyboard being a cheap Ajazz, and because of that when some of its cheap brown switches started to die off I began looking at other options. I don't consider myself to be overly picky when it comes to switches, but as a gamer, coder and chronically online writer I usually go for middle-of-the-road switches, like cherry browns. Medium amount of resistance, not much noise, etc. But then I saw a video for the EPOMAKER Wisteria Linears on TikTok and I decided all of my morals and requirements were going out the window. Normally I wouldn't recommend buying ANYTHING you see recommended on TikTok but my moment of weakness seems to have paid off. I haven't looked back so far. Amazing value for money at ยฃ10-ish per 30 switches so only ยฃ30 to outfit my entire keyboard and a few spare in case any of them die. They slot into the keyboard easily and can be removed just as fluidly for maintenance, unlike my cherry browns that seemed to be hammered in and required me spraining my wrist to remove. Quality seems pretty good, they feel a bit lighter than other switches which may say something about build quality but it's not at all noticeable when the switches are being used. They're incredibly smooth to use and make an amazing thocky sound which is only amplified if you have good quality keycaps. (They're the first switches you hear in my video, the more hollow-sounding ones after are my og cheap browns.) Functionally, as stated above they are incredibly smooth and typing/playing a game are dreams. My only complaint, and the reason I knock a star off, is because these switches have NO resistance at all, and it's quite easy to hit one by mistake. I think I'll get used to it, and I wouldn't say it's a reason to not buy these unless that kind of thing really matters to you - But I basically paid ยฃ30 to accidentally walk my character off platforms and pull extra mobs in WoW until I adjust my rather heavy-handed approach to my keyboard. This is 100% my problem and a massive skill issue but I wanted to include it anyway. I think that's it. I like them a lot honestly, and I think I'd recommend them just for the sound they make alone. If my smooth brain remembers I'll update this in a year if there's anything to report. Edit a year later: The keyboard died in the Summer lmaaaaaaaao but the switches were solid until the end and didn't give me any trouble!
