Great tactile switch with a bump at the very beginning to prevent accidental keystrokes
I like to rest my fingers on my keyboard.My last keyboard used Cherry Silent Reds which have a spring force of 40g. Because of that I would easily press the keys on accident without knowing it due to the linearity.These Purple 65 g are quite nice because the bump at the very top means the keystroke won't register until you get past that bump. I also tested out using the 67g T1s but found the resistance to be a smidge too high for my liking. These purples are great if you want a switch that has a very noticeable bump at the top and immediately actuates once you get past that bump. So far it works quite well on all my keys. Some may want the stronger T1s for the longer keys like Spacebar/Shift/Enter/Backspace, but these switches have a nice return feel to them.One good thing to note that's not listed: These purple 65s are factory lubed, meaning they'll already sound quite deep compared to other switches which may sound hallow. I think they sound quite nice as is.

Excellent switches with Prime shipping
These are incredible switches! so snappy and tactile. I swapped out my cherry mx clears with these and I'm in love. These switches have nice feedback post bump and feel very fast. I know some people will frown on it but I enjoy the sound and sensation of bottoming out on these. They are louder than the clears though. That might be important for some people to think about. I'm using this for my work from home set up.Some comparisons...1. When I compared the spring to the mx clears the T1 was longer. I didn't like how much cushion there was in the clears and these definitely don't have that issue, infact I don't think there's any cushion at all?2. They remind me of Kaihl Box Royals. I had one switch mixed into my alphas and at speed couldn't tell you if I was hitting the Box Royal or the T1 based on feel. There is a difference in sound between the two.

These are definitely not Holy Pandas.
I recently got some Massdrop Holy Pandas, and ordered these T1 switches by Durock to see if they stack up. For one, they're more expensive than Holy Pandas - these are $0.75 a switch. The only good thing about them is that they're stocked in US warehouses, and are shipped with Prime.The housing of the switches are super wobbly, which is a common problem with T1 switches - I suppose these haven't been updated or revised to fix that. This wobbliness (which can be fixed with switch films) completely jeopardizes the switch, and makes it feel cheap, definitely around the $0.45/switch price.The tactile bump, which is the whole reason you'd buy Holy Pandas, is there, and the bump feels similar, but I'd say it's a sharper bump at the top and less of a rounded bump, like the Holy Pandas are. The Holy Panda sound signature isn't there at all, and I'm getting some spring pinging, or crunching, or something that makes them sound noticeably cheap. Maybe it's still the rattle, who knows.These were a great deal for something that's *almost* Holy Panda level, in early 2019, but in late 2020, just buy Holy Pandas instead. Or buy T1s from primekb.com, they're $0.55/switch there.

Great Switch in an Competitive Market
One of the better switches in the market. Very smooth round bump with a signature sign.They are not as tactile as say the more expensive Zealios or Holy Pandas, but, considering that the price of those are at a premium, these are a very close to them and a great alternative. Besides these 2 switches, I believe it beats all the other competitors including MOD, Hako, MX, etc. Comparing it to an MX Brown is Laughable as it is blown out of the water by this switch. Comparing them to Kalih Royals would be unfair as it is just different from them.Compared to the Royals, the T1s are smooth and rounded and the Box Royals emulates more of a force difference that the old discontinued alps used to be. They are switches for different people, but if you don't care about nostalgia or don't know what in the world I am talking about, these switches are more for you.

great switches on a budget. WITH PRIME SHIPPING !!!
great switch for the value, they come with prime delivery which is always fast and on time. The pandas are a major upgrade from a typical brown switch, these have a much more pronounced tactile bump and a much more snappy sound on bottom out. My Gatteron browns came with a-lot more stem play/wobble and have a mushy bottom out when typing sometimes it’s even hard to tell if i feel a tactile bump at all when using them. the pandas improved on all of these negative attributes and proves itself as a great budget switch, not much stem wobble at all and a precise satisfying typing experience. i hope you enjoy these as much as i did. on another note, if you are looking at these as a substitute to holy pandas they will not suffice. due to the stem being shorter than a halo true stem they do not have the same bottom out feeling or sound.

Unnaturally smooth
These are some of the most smooth tactile switch I've used, not even lubing them. Out of the box they feel really smooth, so much so that I kinda find it uncomfortable. 67g usually provides good resistance for me, but because these are so smooth they feel lighter than other switches with the same spring weight. Another side effect of the smoothness is that it makes the tactile bump way more pronounced. A lot of people say these are similar to U4t's but I would say these feel sharper.The sound is where the switch falls behind a bit. Compared to Boba U4t's, these are higher pitch. It's not so high pitch that it's unpleasant, but this certainly is not a "thocky" switch. It's more poppy which you may like.Overall, I like these switches. The smoothness really throws me off, but I think eventually I will get used to it. You might like these more than Boba U4t, but for me I think Bobas still have aspects to them that are better. Bobas still sound better and you might prefer the bump over the Sunflower's sharp bump.
