What do the switches feel like?

What do the switches feel like?

they are linear no tactile bump. and are heavier than blues not exactly sure how to describe them. they have a "thonk" when they bottom out. the case is quite thick and the sound is somewhat hollow. over all not a bad feel. they need to be lubed tho, they feel abit scratchy but thats probably from the 30 years of dust build up LOL.

Those are Hi-Tek Linear switches. I have a board with them, theyre nice and smooth.

Nice, looks pretty cool .

Hi-Tek linears are weird, they're super stiff xD . I much prefer the later Space Invaders they made under NMB, personally.
