Way too light, the buttons actuate by simply staring at them too intensely

Use these on the Gigabyte Force K83, best switches I have ever used. Much better than my Outemu Blue keyboard, but still not perfect. Wish I had enough money for an mx nature white switch keyboard :(

Best gaming switch. Especially for any kind of FPS gaming. Typing can be somewhat of a challenge at first, but once you get used to it, it is awesome and not noisy like the clicky blues and greens.
