Can you please record a video showing the smoothness in action? I'm really curious.
Videos can't show "smoothness in action" and not everyone has a $1,000 camera that can even capture such details.
You know not everyone on this forum is filthy rich, right?
And I'm not surprised about Cherry improving the quality of their switches.
The RGB MX Browns on my YOTG feel EXTREMELY smooth and the bump feel subtle but solid. Not Gateron smooth, but very nice for what you would expect from a Cherry.
Gaterons are very nice, but I'm not the biggest fan of them. Nicer than Outemus and very smooth, but NOT fun to type on at all. Gateron Greens that I have in my Void ray teamwolf are almost TOO smooth...the clicks are nice, but the tactile bump is so light compared to PROPERLY MADE MX clicky switches that it feels more like a tactile clear than a MX clicky switch. I cant speak for Gateron blues, but I find the MX Greens on my Shine 69 and the blues on my Shine 6/YOTM much more fun to type on...keys feel a lot more bouncy (more feedback due to more resistance at the click point and rebound bump)
The blues in my iKBC, on the other hand, are awful.
If you read these forums too much, you would think EVERY cherry MX switch has sand all over the sliders and molasses as lubricant.
