As far as linear switches go these are amazing. The pre-lubed "smoothness" is clearly there. I will admit that i am pretty new to mechanical custom keyboards and that my only other experience with linear has been with Gateron Reds on a lowprofile keyboard (from the brand that starts with "key"... sshhh dont tell them)

And after changing to the night breeze from the browns i found myself changing back to the browns as i liked the forcefeedback more... but this is totally a personal preference and nothing to do with the great quality of the switches. In my opinion its not enough to sample only one switch like the little sample box you get... i'd suggest if you a noob like me to get one tactile and one linear set of switches and see what you like... (dont bother with clicky.. only crazy people like that)
