Sooo good
These switches are great. I got a nuphy air60 v2 with cowberries. So I wanted to try opposite switches to see what I prefer. the cowberries are light and linear, and the bananas are heavy and tactile. I must say, I like really like these. The heaviness of these keys make the keyboard feel more high-end and it really emphasizes the tactile of the key. With banana you really feel the tactile bump. I tried some samples of wisteria which is like banana but lighter. and with wisterias you don't feel the tactile bump as much (they almost feel linear) because the key is so light. And I also tried moss test switches, and even though they feel similar to bananas they have a higher pitched click on them whereas the bananas are quieter and bassier. So overall really happy with the bananas. Update: I've been going between these and the chocolates. The chocolates feel somewhere in between the bananas and the cowberries. The bananas are just a bit too loud to bring to quiet places, but the bananas are probably the most satisfying to type on because they're the most tactile. I ended up going with more a hybrid setup. So cowberry linear on space, shift, and function keys, alpha keys get the chocolates, and arrow keys/numbers/enter/delete get the bananas.

My favorite key!
Ladies and gents, fellow nerds and computer wizards. I have found a key worthy of all quests both office and gaming use. The banana key is smooth like a blended whiskey and very responsive like a helicopter parent. Worthy for all users!

feels and sounds great
got these to replace the Gateron Low Profile 2.0 Blues that came with my Nuphy Air75 v2, and I love them. a little heavier than the blues, sounds way nicer/deeper (was getting sick of the clicking), and I type just as well if not better on them after a short adjustment. had to buy 3 boxes of these to have enough to replace all 84 keys

Worst switches ever
Really poor switches, there's almost nothing to like about them. They double type constantly, the actuation force is way too strong and inconsistent between switches, the leafs have a very pronounced ping that is very annoying. Honestly wish they just didn't work at all.

Not a bad switch, too bad I can't use them.
So theses are low profile mechanical switches, they feel better than browns but they are still tactile. Issue is theses switches don't fit every low profile MX mechanical keyboard. Do some research first before buying these switches

Love these
The banana yellow switches are my favorite but everyone has different preferences. I will say that the hot swap procedure for changing these out was dead simple, did my whole keyboard in less than five minutes. also consider having different switches for different keys. I like these for the letters when I touch type, but prefer the Browns for cursor keys and enter and escape. A more deliberate and audible feedback. Enjoy!

Love these switches
Installed into a NuPhy Air96 keyboard without issues, very firm typing feel compared to the stock brown switches. Even bought extras in case I have a problem with them in the future... Which I shouldn't. They are not pre lubed, so consider that for your typing preferences. Use a Gateron switch puller or you'll just make yourself crazy trying to pull it with those lousy pry tool things most keyboards come with.

Pretty good, remember to do your research
I’ve seen other people rate low profile switches poorly. And it’s due to a lack of research. Since the market is quite niche at the moment, almost every manufacturer will have their own low profile mounts. Get these IF your keyboard has hot swappable gateron low profile switch mounts. That being said, these switches are interesting. My senses don’t like them if they’re lightly pressed. It feels like one of those memchanical keyboards. The ones I had on my keyboard were blues. I got these because I heard good things. And I didn’t want my coworkers to throw my keyboard out the window. They are growing on me and are fun to type on, but the feeling can be odd. I am new to the low profile world. I think a reviewer for a keyboard said it the best. It’s kinda like typing on a premium chiclet keyboard.
