An excellent tactile switch, round and cushiony
I'm not the most well versed in the sphere of mechanical switches by a long shot, but I've tried out a few for at least a week in various keyboards over the years I've hovered on the edge of the hobby — the Cherry MX Clears (my previous favorite), Greens, and Blues, Gateron Browns and Reds, Drop Holy Panda Xs and Glorious Pandas, and of course now Drop Halo Trues. Out of all of them, the Halo Trues are hands-down my favorite. They have a noticeable, big, round tactile bump beginning right at the start of the key's travel that somehow also manages to be rich, sustained, smooth as butter and not jarring at all (unlike the Pandas, where the round tactile bump was jarring enough to be painful). That tactile bump guides you beautifully to the actuation point, which is at 1.9mm, so before even half of the key's travel is through, and then the force curve jumps rapidly up after the actuation, vaulting right past the peak tactile bump force and actuation force almost immediately and them climbing linearly with the steepest slope I've ever seen in a force curve graph for a switch to the end of the key's luxuriously full travel. Not only does this feel amazing, but it also means that if you press the key with only enough force to get past the peak of the tactile bump and then actuate the switch (which actually requires less force than most similarly heavy tactiles do), you will very quickly have all of that momentum stopped by gently cushioning, rewarding travel that then bounces your finger up to reach the next key. And with the way the tactile feedback guides you, you know exactly where in the switch's travel the key actuates and exactly when you have or have not actuated it so you can quickly and accurately stop pressing as soon as a key is actually did and move on to the next key without any wasted time bottoming out, without needing it to have a scratchy and sudden tactile bump right in the middle of the truffle that leads people to call tactile switches like browns and clears "scratchy linears."This means that for someone like me who has carpal tunnel and tendonitis, the typing experience of these switches is not only just really rewarding and feels really good, but also prevents flare-ups of pain. I like this switch so much it's made me want to type just for tight things to see, which is not something I've felt before.So although a lot of people call this a mediocre switch and suggest turning into a holy panda, I actually don't think either those things are true. This is a really excellent tactile switch in its own right, with a set of features that you basically can't find combined into one switch anywhere else (decently long travel, round and rewarding attack tile bump right at the top of the travel, heavy bottoming out weight, and a spring that has a very high slope). Just if you're looking for exactly these intersection of features, this is basically the best switch you can get anywhere, which makes its mid-tier price excellent value.

Excelentes switches, algo duros
Reemplazaron los Gateron Brown originales de un teclado Womier K98. Los Brown son táctiles y tienen buena sensación. Los Halo Clear son visualmente geniales, ya que son blancos y transparentes, lo que facilita que el color se difumine muy bien en el teclado, sin que se vea el LED directamente a través del switch, pero dejando que todo el switch se ilumine.Son bastante duros, pero no llegan a la sensación de un Cherry Black. Siguen siendo táctiles, por lo que la sensación de "bump" es agradable.

Heavy but responsive tactile switches
Using these on my Womier K87 with DROP Artifact keycaps. They have an interesting feel, not sure how to explain it but it's drastically different from your average tactile switch. If you're coming from switches like Gateron browns, these are much, much heavier, and are really hard to bottom out which I personally like. They also have a deeper sound than Gaterons. Although they are heavier, light typing is still quite easy on these as they're quite responsive. Packaging is awesome with a sleek minimalistic box and switches on plastic sliders. Stock switches can be a little scratchy, definitely recommend lubing these. Zero issues with any of these switches in terms of functionality. All in all I'm really happy with these.

My favourite switch.
Heavy heavy tactile switch. These will tire you out if you are not used to them.Frequently cannibalised for the Holy Panda. But I prefer them as they are. My one fault to them is the spring ping. But that’s fixable with oil

Great quality and fit-n-finish
No doubt the quality and fit-n-finish is great but the feel of the switch is highly subjective. If you like MX clear switches this is good alternative! If you like a strong tactile feel, this is the switch for you.
