Reminder: Switches are NOT all that determines your keyboard sound!
I completely overlooked how important the rest of the keyboard is to the sound. I once had the mindset that the right switches would produce the right sound. I was kind of disappointed with these at first, but I finally decided to listen and actually do something to mod the keyboard. I have a Glorious GMMK 3, and I got a Polycarbonate board. The only foam I left on is the PCB foam between the board and the plate. I covered the bottom of the PCB with masking tape, and only then did I get the creamy sound I was looking for! I'm currently also using flex gaskets. Next step is to get ceramic keycaps and make my thocky dream come true. As for these switches, they feel great, are smooth, and feel kind of plushy! I absolutely love them. They sound wonderful once you take the time to mod the keyboard in other ways, too.

Gateron Buttery Yellow Switches
These switches are def a great buy it made my Epomaker sound so much for thocky and creamy at the same time! Def my top buy for switches and the Gateron build is high quality.

Wonderful budget switches!
The switches feel great and where lubed perfectly at least in my honest opinion, I didn't have to do any self lubing or even add any films as the stems were not wobbly as people claimed for these switches to be, as they have been notorious for having bad stem wobble, but I genuinely have extremely little stem wobble from these switches. Overall they feel great, they are smooth to type on, and offer a nice thocky and creamy sound profile on my specific keyboard, if you enjoy linears that have a decent weight to them and want a smooth typing experience, this is the switch for you

Great switch, bad factory lube
This is the second Gateron switch I’ve bought and I have to say that I really like it but there are some nitpicks and one big issue.These look really nice with the milky housing and they are extremely quiet but with a nice low pitched thock. They actuate pretty quickly as well.All the switches worked right out of the box and fit into the mounting plate very easily and secure well.You do sacrifice some LED brightness and sharpness so I don’t recommend using shine through caps with these unless they are pudding. I recommend using thick caps as these feel heavier than the operating force would suggest, but I like my switches between 45g & 60g so this is a great middle ground. Go with whatever keycap profile you like but I recommend MAO, SA, and OEMThe biggest issue was that the pre-lube was absolutely terrible. Some looked bone dry but as I looked closer I saw that the lube was accumulating on the bottom housing and just a smidge on the rails. The springs and poles were not lubed. Maybe the stock lube was either old or low quality, but it made some of the switches sticky when they bottom out.I spent 4 hours lubing all 90 switches by hand and I did my best to spread the original lubricant. I did find it relaxing and it was my first time hand lubing switches, it was very time consuming but ultimately worth it as these are some of the best feeling switches I’ve ever used.Just be prepared for inconsistency with the pre-lube and I recommend these only if you’re into hand lubricating your switches.

Best key switches ever
I have been happy with these. Easy set up, switch quality feels great to the fingers before place them in the keyboard. Noise level is to a minimum. The color yellow is amazing it’s not a different yellow it’s as advertised. Functional, they have not failed me. Love the cloudy color reduce the brightness on my keyboard when I leave it on and I’m in bed.
