Meh

Pros — Order was professionally packed, shipped, etc., so the company itself gets a positive review.

Cons — I was taking a gamble on whether I’d like the switches based off some Reddit circlejerk hype. The lubed switches had a pretty mushy indistinct feel. I’ve put together 11 keyboards over the past couple of months, each with different tactile switches. While I have a hierarchy of favorites from those experiments, these Azure Dragons were the only switches I actively disliked.

great sounds on my qk100

enjoying these switches alot, the design is excellent and stands out from the 1000s of boring black or white or light colored switches of today.
the sound i am getting with these on my fully foamed qk100 w/ pbt caps is extremely creamy but also has that classic tactile click sound,

these are definitely my fav switches right now and id love to see something top this

Great switches

Even unlubed the action is smooth, they're quiet but with a nice pop-y thock on release (abs keycaps), short travel distance and the light diffusion on the switch housing makes per key RGB really smooth looking

Awesome!

Great tactile switches! They feel very nice, though they are slightly scratchy so I would advise lubing them

They’re nice … with some work

These switches are nice but didn’t come in the best shape. Many of the pins were bent and needed to be straightened.

Also they were scratchy and not well prelubed. I’m not a switch snob and don’t feel compelled to lube everything i receive but the feel of the base switches was not great.

I re-lubed the switches and they’re working much better.
