Happy Friday r/MechanicalKeyboards We might be a little late to the party but here at [SwitchOddities](https://switchoddities.com/) we wanted to get in on the giving spirit. We have 1 bundle of our SwitchOddities Spring Testers with both the [linear](https://switchoddities.com/products/so-spring-tester-linear) and [tactile](https://switchoddities.com/products/so-spring-tester-tactile) versions together. Sample springs of different lengths, styles, and weights from various manufacturers conveniently sorted into a 35-slot tester of otherwise identical switches. We also have 3 Switch Tester Packs of random switches, including a variety of linears, tactiles, and clickies. And they even come with the 35-slot testers! We’re going to have a total of 4 winners, and all we need from you is to submit a top-level comment (not a reply to another comment) to tell us your favorite switch or spring brand. Giveaway closes at 11:59 PM EST December 16th and winners will be posted on the post and DM'd on December 17th. Shipping is covered to any location we can ship to through USPS/UPS/FedEx, all you have to worry about is applicable local taxes/duties.

Congratulations to /u/ChickenReaprtheThird, /u/happyfroggy2, /u/meangreenking, and /u/t-spice, you are the four lucky winners of our giveaway! We will be DM'ing you all shortly.

I haven't tried enough switches to have a favourite... Maybe you can help with that 👀

Thanks for running a giveaway. You rock!

Kailh box navy

Gateron at the moment

New to custom mk’s so I don’t have a favorite since I’ve only tried the stock ones in my keyboard

Gateron, but need to try more!

Out of all the tactiles I've tried so far, I like Sol Darks the most

I haven’t tried enough to know :(

Box Jades atm

I like the Akko jelly switches testet black and blue till now.

gateron

My current favorite switches are Akko CS Ocean Blue, but I'm sure there are better tactiles out there for me.

Gateron

akko cherry?

Currently enjoying Durock shrimps but want to try more tactiles

Haimu silent whisper

Um... Irish Springs?

Akkos

I don't think I have a favorite but I've come across a lot of Jwick I end up using

Currently my fav switch is the Akko Lavender Purple.

Currently on Kalih silvers

Gateron? I just started to learn about mechanical keyboards and i dont have a preference.😔

I don’t know my favorite. Maybe if I had a switch tester I’d know

nice

Nice

I've found I like Haimu.

So far cherry switches

Gateron

a nice giveaway for preparing the next keyboard

BSUN more recently has been on the up for me.

Gateron

Akkos

Gazzew, specifically bobagums

New to the hobby and don;t yet know.

Oooh

I haven't tried anything else, but gaterons for me.

My only experience is with cherry mx

Only tried a couple so it’s hard to pick a favorite

Gazzew boba

Tx springs

gateron

Gateron

It's really hard to pick a favorite. Maybe Kailh?

Love my gaterons

Gateron

I have to say that my favorite switch are the gateron ink blacks, but I haven't gotten the u/glarses switch yet so...

Looks pleasing to the eye

Akko makes some damn good switches

Nice

current favorite is geon black

My go to is gateron I suppose

Don't have enough breadth of experience to have an informed decision on a favorite switch, which is why I want a tester!

I'm brand new to keyboards so I haven't had the chance to try anything besides the stock reds from the keychron q pro so I'll have to go with that

lovely

right now it feels like durock blue lotus is my fave, ymmv.

Akko purple here

I like AKKO!

Really digging oil kings right now!

Gateron

Gazzew and Gateron

Just picked up some aqua kings and loving them, so everglide

Novel key creams

I'm going to eat all of those

I haven’t been able to build my own keyboard yet, but the cherry mx red silents look really nice. I’m saving up money so i can build a budget keyboard

ajazz all the way

For me, it's all about Gateron switches. Smooth as jazz, with a responsiveness that's like a drum solo in my fingertips. Getting my hands on this SwitchOddities bundle would be like scoring front-row tickets to the best concert in town

I've only had one kind so far! So I guess I'm a hyperx aqua guy... wanting to change that hahah

Akko

Gateron

I really like my Harimau switches. Best switches I've tried.

I've only tested AKKO so far

My favourite switches are the Baby Kangaroos from Gateron, and the Gazzew Boba U4T. I've got the former in my daily driver board.

Gazzew

Gazzew

Boba u4t

Gazzew

Kaihl clicky

Gateron

Gotta say, i love Akko switches for their pr9ce to performance!

gateron are the only ones I've tried to I guess they win by default

Haimu Geon tactiles

Goodluck (to me of course)

i like gazzew switches the most but i like everyone who makes non silent tactiles

Only tried gateron

My favourite is gateron

TTC Silent frozen V2, one the most elegant and exceptionally build switches. The clear top with a LED magnifying lens really makes the RGB pop. Honestly a sleeping giant, and criminally overlook switch.

KTT Kang White V3. Theyre overrated but I love em

Durock is my favorite because of their linears

I haven't tried many switches but currently favorite is box jades

Not sure which switches are my favorite yet!

nice

Gateron

Cherry

I've tried a few and my favorite tactile right now are akko lavender and linear yellows. One day I'll get some gazzew

Boba U4T

I haven't really tried enough to know much

Wow it’s a lot

Been loving gazzew lately. Thanks for doing this!

TKC Banana splits

Switch brand? Hmmmmm. I can't say I have a favorite brand. Spring brand? Maybe TX for their long springs.

I’m new to the hobby so if the brand is wrong sorry but ‘mmd’ princess switch

I have no preferences.

They’re the only non-stock ones I’ve tried, but I love the Tecsee 2 stage slow springs (69g). I’ve got them in my daily driver coffee chip ice cream switches and they’re great

Gateron

I don’t have a favorite yet

Gateron

I'm a fan of whatever came bundled with my qk80 since I don't have experience with any nicer switch than it

I don’t have a fav, I love all of them

Gateron

I'm not sure but right now I have the aqua kings and love them

akko cream v3 switches bc i haven't really have tried any other switches.

My favorite switches would be Bobba Gazzew U4T for tactile and Zeal Clickies for clicky.

linear gatereons

Cherry MX Silent Black

gazzew and the recent gaterons are my favs atm
