EPOMAKERShadow Black 53gf Linear Mechanical Keyboard Switch, 5 Pins Switch Set with POM Stem, Translucent PC Housing, 30 Pieces, for Gaming DIY Keyboard

One of the most awesome switches and the sound of it is beautiful with PC plate. Plus you dont need to lude it as well. Stock is perfect.

Really good switches, needed something light and linear and this one came up.. really good value for money switches, the cs series is a truly excellent option for budget switches. They feel really high premium quality, and helps to have the dustproof stems as well. Sounds pretty good straight out of the box, but I prefer lubing them before use. Excellent either way.

They guys at the office stopped complaining about my keyboard noise since I switched to those switches ...... they said I have to give it 5 stars

Actually quite good.

Its responsive keystrokes and its clacky, smooth, and satisfying it also have a lightweight feel

Peach switch.I recently bought the peach switches and the banana ones and after some mods i can safely say this is a good thocc switch for cheap.(i recommend the peach ones)

One of the best linear switch out there!

If you're looking for a halfway point between "thock" and "clack", this switch is it. I chose them for an Epomaker TH80 build, and they have been lubed with Glorious G-Lube, while the springs are bag lubed with Krytox G105. Slapped on some Epomaker "Polar" MDA profile keycaps and the keyboard sounds + feels marvelous. Noticeable tactile bump but low actuation force strikes a nice balance for typing. For gaming, not so much.

The EPOMAKER Flamingo switches are a fantastic option if you're into linear switches and want a smooth, satisfying typing experience.Pros: Smooth and Consistent: These switches have a 47gf actuation force, which hits a sweet spot for many. Typing feels light and smooth, without any scratchiness, making them great for long typing sessions or gaming. Unique Sound: While they’re linear, they produce a soft and pleasant sound—perfect if you want something quieter than clicky switches but still distinct enough to enjoy. Pre-Lubed: These come pre-lubed, so you don’t need to spend extra time fine-tuning them. They feel buttery right out of the box, which is a big plus for anyone who wants a good feel without the hassle.Cons: Limited Quantity: With only 35 switches in the set, you’ll likely need more than one pack for a full-sized keyboard. So, be prepared to buy additional packs if you're working on a larger build. Not for Tactile Lovers: If you prefer tactile or clicky switches, these won’t give you that bump or feedback. They're strictly linear, which is a specific taste.Conclusion:If you’re after smooth, linear switches with a unique feel and sound, the EPOMAKER Flamingo set is a great choice. They’re well-lubed, consistent, and perfect for custom builds, but just keep in mind the set size if you’re outfitting a larger keyboard.

I've been searching for the best keyboards, keycaps, switches, that fit my personal preferences and for switches, my never-ending search for the best of the best, has ended or at least paused. Most Silent Switches leave you feeling like there is another barrier or another step missing from the overall key-press, but with these switches being "boxed" it gives you the heavier, sturdier feel of a tactile keyboard but still has the linear feel, followed by the sweet sound of heavily dampened keys. If you want silent, sturdy, smooth, linear switches. Do this one.

Some aren’t lubed or aren’t the same type. The first couple boxes I received have been fantastic. But I did receive a couple batches that are clicky and seem to just be louder than the rest. I installed a bunch onto a new board and half the board is clicky, the other half is smooth and quiet. Strange. Be ready to test them as you receive them.

I got these switches because they were pretty inexpensive for the amount you got for them, and I wanted something that came fairly quickly, since I had gotten a Galaxy80 barebones and I was excited for my first aluminum keyboard. They came at a good time and were easy to install. They sound great so far! I would say they have a more clacky sound but it has a bit of thock to it too, perhaps a little marbly? It's a bit hard to describe but there are a few other videos online if you want to get an idea. I would definitely recommend in an aluminum keyboard. I'm not quite sure how they sound in a plastic keyboard, but I'm sure they'd sound great regardless.

They make nice switches. I have a few different kinds from epomaker and they work just fine.
