Looks like Cherry is releasing a new line of switches. What do you guys think?

I noticed Very little difference on the two I've tried (brown and purple). Even less difference than the hyperglide change was. However, all the changes do add up compared to a switch from 10 years ago. I'm still much more impressed with some of the newer switches on the market like HMX (haimu) and the newer Gaterons.

I still haven't tried them but I do want to, but they do just seem like pre lubed version of the line. The barrel spring would be interesting but cherry springs kinda suck so I doubt that it would be too great. Probs gonna stick with regular hyperglides because I do like to mod switches, but I understand why they exist for people who don't and just want to use a stock cherry switch (which is fair enough)
