Gateron Phantom Switch

I got my Phantom Yellow switches in my pre-assembled Q1 Knob Version and they have proven to be a comfortable and fun switch. The yellow housing creates some interesting color mixes but can be annoying at times because a solid white isn't possible. The marketing suggests that the factory applied lube is thick and that certainly holds true, it took a few weeks for the switches to smooth out and now they feel fantastic. I am impressed with their buttery texture and the sound characteristics are appealing. To my ears they have a muted, deep "clack" sound but aren't quite deep enough for "thock", although a PC or POM plate would provide a deeper sound. I have no problems recommending these Gateron Phantom switches to people looking for unique pre-lubed switches.

I got these because they were about half the price of factory lubed Glorious Pandas and I have no regrets. They feel the best out of anything I've tried, the caveat being that I've only tried unlubed non-hot-swap boards before. They also have a more noticeable tactile bump than the regular gateron browns, which is not a high bar but still. Seriously enjoying these in my first custom board!

Phantom Switch is good item.

love the colors and the sound. thanks y'all
