Soft Clicks
I've been wanting to try these 'Melodic' switches for a few months now, but I didn't want to commit to actually buying a full bundle. Decided to grab these so I could try out a couple before making up my mind.These are really unique for clicky switches - The switch is soft, and quiet, and much like it's name the result is that that they're a bit 'musical'. On the bottom out the switch offers more resistance, but feels soft and almost over lubed, so the actuation beyond the click reminds me a lot of a linear switch. A clicky linear? I guess this is as close as you could get!They're soft, quiet, but still clicky - You're not going to get the typewriter feedback of a Kailh Navy, that's for sure, but if you want a clicky that would sit well in a cozy bedroom situation, these definitely fit the bill.The typing experience itself is very solid, with very little stem wobble, and compared to other budget switches I've tried (such as MMD's), they seem to actuate with more accuracy and consistency. Though that may be due to the clicky design itself.When it comes to resistance and weight they're not light switches by any means, but I wouldn't call them heavy either. They sit right in the middle. If you can't make up your mind on whether or not you prefer light or heavy switches, these would work pretty well since it offers a little bit of both. In a lot of ways these switches tend to sit right in the middle of a lot of categories.Overall, they're different, and in a good way. I like different. These are cool switches.

Very unique!
I use to love "clicky" switches but got away from them over the past couple of years. I have tried a few different ones but nothing impressed me... until these.Let me start by staying that they are very quiet for a clicky switch, I have some tactiles that are louder. But there you can hear a light click when typing if you are listening for it. The tactility on these is great, nice initial bump somewhat like a Gateron Baby K but lighter. They definitely feel great to type on for long periods of time.From my testing the name comes from the various sounds they produce with different plate materials and keycaps. They are definitely louder with a nice clack bottom out with an AL or CF plate and ABS caps. Yet on PC or POM plate with PBT caps they are much more subdued.Stem wobble is almost non existent and factory lube was consistent on all the ones I had. Because they are clicky you get some noise but no scratch or spring ping, just the subtle click.Definitely unique, if you don't like loud clicky switches but want just a little sound, a little tactility and something different these are the switches to try. I plan on ordering enough for a full build shortly.

Nice clicks
These mechanical keyboard switches work as expected. They are easy and simple to install in your hot swappable mechanical keyboard. Using these switches to give the number row a satisfying click when pressed. Good switches if you like mechanical blues.

SO SATISFYING!
I'm a complete newbie to mechanical keyboards and figuring out what fits me best. I saw these guys described as bubble wrap and hooooboy that's pretty darn close! Not very loud, but a nice, poppy click that's just... I love it. It doesn't take much force to get them moving and the entire pack was flawless. I'm thinking about switching my entire board to these, it's just that good of a sound!

Satisfying clicky switches
I'm not normally a fan of clicky switches as I find them to be a bit too annoying and loud for daily use, but these Gateron Melodic switches are actually very nice with soft but satisfying clicks that sound very pleasant to my ears. They have a good tactility with a slight hint of thockiness hidden underneath those clicks, and the entire experience just makes them a very satisfying switch to type on. If noise is your concern when it comes to clicky switches, then these won't fare any better than other clicky switches on the market, but if the noise isn't of concern and you're moreso looking for a switch with a soft, deep click, then these switches are a fantastic option.

Pleasantly clicky
These are the ONLY clicky switches I have tried that I actually enjoy.Would I put them in every keyboard? Nope. But they are nice to have in one of the gaming boards I don't use that often.For perspective, If any keyboard has come with clickies in the past, I pull them out and toss them because they're annoying to me.These are a different breed! They're clicky but not obnoxious.They're still loud because that click is there but they're not echoey or terribly high-pitched like most other clickies.

Gateron Melodics, a quieter clicky key switch
These Gateron Melodic switches are worth considering if you're looking for a clicky tactile switch that is not so loud. A pleasure to use with typing. Compared to other clicky switches like box and mx blues, the click of melodics are more lower pitch which should not travel as far. My only gripe with them is their return rate is a tad bit slower than the other clicky switches I have used and definitely slower than linear switches which do not have a click. Side by side with MX speed silvers, the return rate of melodics are night and day.

pretty interesting switches
These are perhaps some of the quietest, smoothest clicky switches I've ever tried. They're nice to type with; the factory lubing is pretty consistent throughout the 10 pieces I got, but they do require a bit of force to press down on compared to the ones I was using, so it required a bit of adjustment. I like the colors on these and they look lovely under transparent keycaps.
