I just tried both the Yellow and Red versions. They are surprisingly *so* different from each other that I cant decide which to use. Yellow feels very creamy but sounds very muted. The sound is a doule edged sword as sometimes i want a more mellow typing sound but often is too quiet for my preferences despite me usually likeing how it feels (sometimes feels too mushy for my preferences). The reds feel very crisp and produce a deep pop sound which is satisfying but was hoping for a switch that wasnt *as* loud (roughly as loud as my alpacas). I almost want to get a full set of both but I know myself enough to know id likely end up only using one. The yellows are very good but seem like a switch id have to be in the mood for to enjoy while the reds are more well rounded but to me doesnt feel and sound as unique as the yellows (not to say the reds dont feel and sound good, a lot better than my alpacas). I cant decide which to keep and get a full set of.
Great video! I think that the reds sound a bit better to me. I feel like a lot of the budget or cheaper switches from Gateron in general have a deeper tone. I think these would be good for entry level people looking for that deeper sound signature but I don't know that I'd recommend these over something like a Gateron Milky Yellow.
Gateron should start offering unlubed versions of their long poles or atleast improve the lubing because i have also had muted bottom out on PBO gaterons in smoothies, pure berry, kangaroo etc
Interesting. I could be wrong, and probably am, seeing as I don’t have any of the switches you mentioned, but I *think* that they have improved the lubing since those switches. I have gateron Sea Salt Smoothies, which are newer, and they don’t have that issue, along with these reds, which also haven’t had that issue, at least yet. I’ve had them for about 3 weeks

Thank you!
Yeahhh, I 100% agree with your take
I had the yellows ultrasonically cleaned, and now they're actually more like a popu alternative to me
Oh, I bet they're great after that

Nice vid mate
Thanks homie
Always appreciate your support ❤️
That is one reason i dont use just oil on springs i use a mix of lube and oil so it stays in place. Then brush it on every spring.
