Baby Kangaroo 2.0 Keyboard Switches, Heavy Tactile RGB LED 5 Pin Green 22mm Dual-Stage Spring Factory Pre-lubed 59gf Key Switches for MX Mechanical Keyboard(35PCS)

After two years of using brown switches on my Nuphy Halo keyboard, I decided it was time for a change. Linear switches never did the trick for me as they lacked the feedback i desired. On a whim, I purchased the Gateron Baby Kangaroo 2.0, and it was love at first type!! The installation was a breeze. The tactile bump is very noticeable, enhancing the typing feel and making the keyboard sound creamy, especially with the mods I've applied to my Nuphy Halo. These switches are not as light as the browns and require a bit more force, which might take some getting used to, but they are by far my favorite switches to date due to the superior tactile feedback they provide. Two weeks into using the new switches, I decided to re-lube them to further refine my typing experience. Here's how I did it: 1. Cleaning: I disassembled the switches and washed all the stems with Dawn dish soap in warm water to remove the factory lube completely. 2. Lubricating: I use authentic Krytox GPL204 lube from DuPont. It's important to me that the lubrication is genuine, especially since many aftermarket Krytox brands don't list their chemical components. 3. Modding: I added 0.3mm Foam Switch Films to each switch. This significantly reduced stem wobble and tightened the switch housing tolerances, although it didn't alter the sound much. These steps took my typing experience from good to great, making each keystorke more satisfying than the last. If you're looking for a switch that brings out the best in your mechanical keyboard, I highly recommend giving the Baby Kangaroo 2.0 a try. They might just make you fall in love with your keyboard all over again!

I decided to give these switches a shot after seeing all the hype on Reddit and YouTube saying these are some of the best tactiles out there. And let me say, they're great and live up to the hype. They seem to lean more on the clacky side due to the PC top housing. If you want a more deeper sound, the Gateron Quinns are supposed to be the same as these but consist of a Nylon top housing. Compared to my Boba U4Ts, these seem to be much smoother and crisper. No thock as the U4Ts had but I seem to like these a little more. The BBK are medium/heavy though so if you want a lighter switch, maybe look at the Gateron Beers. The only downside (if there is) is that they did state pre-lubed but the only thing that was lubed was the housing base and one side of the spring. The stem itself was not lubed at all which resulted in some ping. I hand-lubed all of the switches and the ping went away and they are much better. Definitely a great switch to try out if you want a clacky tactile.

The switch is very unusual tactile, but I like it. After lubing it manually, it feels and sounds great. However, the factory lube is bad and very inconsistent. If you want to get this switch, plan to lube it yourself, as out of the box it won't be a good experience.

UPDATE: I've been using these switches for over a year and they are still buttery smooth. I still haven't lubed them again since receiving them. Still really enjoy the feeling of these baby kangaroos, and I'm definitely happy I switched from the heavier springs. I like how smooth these switches feel. I was using the Gateron Aliaz and they feel scratchy compared to how smooth these Baby Kangaroos feel. I didn't have any issues with the factory lube and didn't bother adding any additional lube. I can feel the tactile bump, but they aren't the most tactile switches I've used. I also can't say they are that heavy either, as my previous switches had 100g springs, so these feel like baby springs comparatively. Overall, they are nice switches, but I'm sure you can find some that feel identical for less.

Fantastic

This is a great switch for someone who wants some thockiness in their keyboard and a little weight behind the keys. My own preferences are for heavy switches with a nice deep sound. The transparent housing is a plus since it allows the RGB lighting to shine through. Price is quite reasonable compared to other "premium" switches.

Best tactile switches ever, they feel amazing to type on. Just a bit too loud but overall awesome sounds and feel.

Used these switches for the last several months. Would have still been using these with Drop Panda-X, but prefer the BR's.

Gutes Feeling und Sound. Entspricht der Erwartung. Habe ich nach etwas „Recherche“ bezüglich Sound und Feeling auf Youtube gekauft.

I bought these to replace Gateron Banana tactile switches and as much as they are very similar, I like them quite a bit more, though they are very similar. I've been using them for about a year at this point. They feel more tactile, have a more noticeable bump and, at least on my Keychron V6 Max, they sound quite a bit deeper (some would say more thocky and less clacky). I've had some issues with one or two of the switches not registering with every keystroke, but I had extras because of needing to ordre three packs for my full keyboard so it wasn't a problem. Overall they're very consistent and I don't regret the purchase.

These switches feel so good! They are the perfect weight and are quiet enough so that the only really hear the thock of your keys bottoming out. There is slight tactile resistance near the top of the stroke that is enough to make the stroke in it's entirety feel perfect. I really can't recommend these switches enough.

really feel the press. sound good as well

I am using them on Keychron V10 Max and the physical feedback is great. I was a bit concerned whether they'd need more force but it wasn't as much as I was concerned (coming from 44). They're a bit pricey but I think they're worth it.
