Time for something different?
Okay frankly, I'm not a big fan of clicky switches. I'm a tactile girl and love my thonk. Clicky has always been a mood I never found. These though, are really fun, I think these are the first clickies to make me like them, based on effort alone. The listing reads "melodic and crisp" this feels accurate. Especially the crisp part. The actuation force is about what I feel comfortable with, listing says 60gf, travel feels mid. Plays well with RGB. DB is highly likely to annoy your coworkers.I probably won't be building a full board out of these, still team thock. That said, if you're in the market for click, definitely check out sounds tests. Click and Thock has one with a very confusing Backspace experience that's worth hearing alone. For me, if ever I need click, I know where to find them.

Good take on the clicky switch
I liked the feel and sound of this switch compared to the cheaper outemu and even cherry blues that I've tried in the past, but it very well could be recency bias. Regardless, I think they're a good option for clicky switches but they are still priced as high as their expensive linear options.

Click leaf!
Man, these are weird and great switches. I really should get more. I only got a sample of 36 (why do they do that? For my 36-key keyboard? Cmon!) so I was only able to populate a keypad with them but *yum*. They feel great. I'm a clickie addict, though I've been using tactiles and linears on gasket-mount keyboard and have been getting really appreciative of the feel. These are really - I've never felt a switch like them, to be honest. Somehow smooth and clicky at the same time. Supposedly they're very similar to the $1+ per switch Zeal Clickiez, which if true, is pretty amazing. Either way. lovely! Worth picking up.

High quality clickies.
I am a tactile switch devotee, but there are some cases (smaller macro pads and specialty controllers) where I like to include some clicky switches for the benefit of clear audible and tactile feedback.As clicky switches go, these are very very nice ones. Rock solid construction, very nice tactile experience and good sound/acoustics. The price on these is pretty steep compared to a lot of the competition, so while I would certainly not consider these a budget option, the quality is there.

Clicky 5-pin switches.
These 5-pin clicky switches have a nice feel to them. The actuation isn't too heavy, and they have a consistent feel. I also noticed that the plastic material looks and feels more high quality than entry level Gateron switches. The sound profile is loud as expected, but not as loud as budget clicky switches I've tried.I got the small pack of 10 switches and installed them on certain keys for productivity. For example, I installed them on the arrow keys and the FN key on my keyboard. I think the value could be better, but they are worth checking out before investing in a larger set.

Heavy and Clicky!
I actually love these as the only Clicky switches I would ever use. These have a VERY STRONG spring and the click is very, very sharp but not super loud. I love the strong tactile bump just as the click activates.If you are a Tactile and Click lover... you gotta try these!As always these are typical Gateron quality!

Nice click!
The media could not be loaded. The sound quality of the actual click in these Melodic switches is so far infinitely superior to that in the Gateron blues. The blues sound incredibly sloppy, loose, and plastic-y. These Melodics have a crisp, sharp click on each keypress. The keystroke feels smooth as the design avoids the spring-loaded jacket-type design of the blues; these create the click by bending a little metal leaf spring and letting it spring back. I tried these for typing for a while and discovered they were a bit too firm for my preference, leading to some mild finger fatigue. I want to say it was more due to the weight of the leaf spring rather than the coil spring weight. There was a very slight jarring sensation in my finger on each click. Maybe if there was a version where the leaf spring was a touch more supple, I would be way into it. 5/5 stars since the quality and value is there, but switches are personal preference and these may be to someone's liking.In the video, I compare these Gateron Melodics (top) to some Kailh clicky switches that I don’t know the name of (bottom). I didn’t have Gateron blues on hand to compare, but it’s still evident that the click is sharp and clean in the Melodics.

Amazing clicky switches
These are the best clicky switches I've used since box jades/navies. They've got a heavy, satisfying, loud click. Truly melodic. Lubing is consistent on mine too. They're smooth, very little wobble. Gateron knocked it out of the park with these, these are easily top tier clicky switches. And here I thought Kailh had perfected clicky switches a long time ago.
