Novelkeys Cream Tactile

Manufacturer: Kailh
Brand: NovelKeys

" In their stock form, the sound of the Cream Tactiles is honestly one of the biggest disappointing features of the entire switch. While I will caveat that they do improve rather substantially with lube as I was curious to try this out for myself, I am rather disappointed with these in the same way that I was for the Launch Creams when I completed their scorecard.
