KiiBoom Linear 45gf Jacaranda Mechanical Keyboard Switch, 5 Pin Pre-lubed with PC Stem, Translucent PC Housing, 35 Pieces for Gaming DIY Keyboard

The sapphire switches sound so poppy and clacky at the same time. Oh my god. They changed the entire sound profile of my board. I am currently in love! Although, I haven’t tried any of the other Kiiboom switches other than the Sapphires and the Matchas the Sapphires are my favorite so far! Very poppy/clacky sound profile but not the annoying clacky, it’s a like a soothing clacky. Can’t describe it but there are many sound tests on YouTube!

I have been using MX Clears for years, and these replaced them as soon as I tested a few of these in my main keyboard. They have a nice klack, almost a thock when combined with the keycaps I'm using. They have good resistance, and have that tactile bump I prefer. They also were well lubricated and didn't require any modifications. The clears this switch replaced were actually new because I refreshed the keyboard by putting all new switches a few weeks ago, so now I have a pile of clears for another project because these, for my senses, rock!

The media could not be loaded. They sounded great stock, but with a little tlc and lube they sounded even better. They sound super creamy and poppy (with my board’s tape mod) I’m very satisfied with it!!

I put about ten ofThese in to some crucial gaming sockets on my TH80. Similar to Akko cream yellow or Kailh purple potatoe(minus tactility) but distinct. Chose these because it's hard to find a decent linear with ~3.5mm total travel and less than 2mm pretravel but this switch does it and well. The matcha color way isn't really my thing it looks like a few type of mold I've seen. Color doesn't matter though so I'm not docking points, also the sound? It doesn't matter! Stop caring about "thock"! I prefer the popping clack of 2 stage springs but that's another story (optical Gateron yellow with 2 stage ~60g springs, try it). These are premium feel and specs with budget pricing. Rubber stamped.As for the taro milk tea? I'm more tactile gang so I have pretty high standards. Out of the box these are between a 3.5 and 4 star. A bit of lube and it clears the 4 star, for some it would be a five I think. I'm going to say 3.5 unlubed, 4.5 lubed. Lubing the taro makes a huge difference but you can argue they should work out of the box however some tactiles shouldn't be lubed and some absolutely should (holy panda X is a completely different switch once lubed, still not a holy panda but still a very good switch of you have the coin) these don't need it as the scratchiness is almost unnoticeable when they have are in a board and capped, mattered for me though. Very nice colors too, much better color way than the matcha imo, but slightly inferior switch apples to oranges albeit.

Works great but it's a bit loud, definitely not for dorms lol.

Amazing key switches, with enough lube they sound thocky. I really love these switches. they are very smooth and nice. very good if you love creamy and thocky keyboards.

these are crazy smooth, but the stems are really grippy, so you might have some difficulty getting the caps back off again, depending on keycap material/tightness.ps, make sure you choose to put it in an amazon box, mine showed up in the manufacturing package without even any tape to hold it closed, it's a small miracle they were all still in the box.

What difference could a switch really make, one might ask. Well, quite a bit, actually. My keyboard is an Epomaker TH80 SE that I ordered with Epomaker Bluebird linear switches. Now I decided to switch to Epomaker Topaz, also a linear switch. Why? The Bluebird switches have an actuation force of about 47-grams. Nice but it felt a little mushy when typing for long periods of time. The Epomaker Topaz is a bit stiffer when pressing down on the key at 59-grams. I find that I can now type faster with greater accuracy based upon the way that I type. These linear switches do not have a clicky or tactile report (or sound) when typing. The cost was $15.99 for 35-switches, or more than enough to change the alphabet keys, spacebar, and other frequently used keys. There is no need really (in my view) to change the switch on every key. My old Bluebirds work perfectly for those other keys: number row, function key row et cetera. IMHO these pre-lubed switches are easy to install (5-pin system compatible with the keyboard) and provide a better typing experience. It is a minimal cost investment for a great typing experience. BTW, there was no switch-puller in the box contrary to the advertisement, but I had a switch-puller supplied with the keyboard, and so it was a non-issue. I have been pleased with Epomaker products.

These shipped in a very sturdy box that was well protected. Fantastic switch right out of the box, that hits that sweet spot for my preference - smooth, perfect travel length, and a spring that isn't too tough, but not too soft either. Snappy on the return, and can withstand some pressure on them when resting fingers on the keys. Had one switch that wasn't too happy and ended up being a bit scratchy, but had extras to swap out.Very much recommend for anyone looking for a medium weight linear switch. Sounds great, and feels great - but bear in mind, very much a preference based hobby.

I like typing on these Taro switches. Pretty nice medium tactile switch. It reminds me somewhat of a kailh pro purple but with a better sound signature. It has a little, tiny pretravel like zealios v1. I think anyone who likes a moderate tactile would be happy with this switch. It’s a bit more tactile than cherry clear.

Nutze diesen Switch mit den passenden Keycaps fuers Arbeiten und Spielen. Sound ist einwandfrei, das Gefuehl ist perfect und ich habe bis jetzt keine Probleme damit.

キーボード初心者です。これまで軽いリニア軸を使用してきましたが、跳ね返りが弱く少し重めのスイッチを探していました。keychron q1 pro JISで使ってみました。①打鍵感当然ですが、45gの軸と比較した際は重く感じます。軽い力でタイピングしたい方には合わないですが、私にはちょうど良く感じます。また、ルブなしですが掠れ音とかはそこまで気にならないです。ルブしたらもっと良さそうですが、そのままの状態でも満足です。②打鍵音音は出ます。過去gateron赤軸やakko jelly blackと比較しても、比較的高い音が出ます。この点はルブであったり、そのほかの対策で高音は抑えられるかと思います。（私はテープmodをしておりますので、若干の反響音や高音そのものを抑えられております。）③RGB透過率青みがかかっておりますが、スイッチ自体はクリアですのでしっかり透過してくれます。あまりRGB自体光らせることが多くないですが、暗い部屋で試した際に元のスイッチ（keychron k pro red）と比較してもそこまで大差はないと感じました。総評個人的な好みにマッチしており非常に大満足です。次回はより重いリニア軸やタクタイル軸も購入したいと考えております。
