Gateron Black vs NovelKeys Cream

( I have used both of these switches. ) In summary these are amazing no matter what but I would recommend stem swapping them with a different switch's stem. Anyway other than that I love these switches 10/10 would recommend anytime.

Used these for about a week with a GMMK Pro and just could not get over the scratchiness of them. I'm by no means a keyboard snob, nor am I really particular about sound, but you can physically feel the stem grind on the housing while using them. While they do feel very soft to type on and have a distinct "clacky" sound that some will love, I ultimately returned them. Perhaps after they are broken in properly (which could take months in some use cases) and after proper lubrication this could be a great switch, but with other better stock switches available its a pass for me
