These Glorious Raptor switches are quite nice and feel great. They come lubed from the factory which is great since it means I do not have to modify these switches in any way, and they actually sound quite nice for clicky switches, which is honestly somewhat surprising since clicky switches tend to not be very popular due to the clicky sounds they make.
These switches offer a very nice and substantial tactile bump, with a nice high-pitched click very reminiscent of a computer mouse. The clicks are very clean and doesn’t have the sort of “sandy” sound of a lot of cheaper clicky switches. Despite their clickiness, they still produce a nice deep thock with every keypress which makes for a very interesting and pleasant experience. I’m not usually a fan of clicky switches, but these are the first clicky switches I’ve tried that I actually liked, which was very surprising to me.
One of my favorite things about these switches though is the housings that Glorious chose to use. These fully-transparent housings are great for RGB fans since they allow the maximum possible amount of light to pass through which is great, and if you’re a fan of pudding keycaps like me, these switches will make them shine amazingly bright. The other great thing about these is that they fit perfectly fine in Outemu sockets. Despite being 5-pin switches, you can clip the extra legs and pop them into Outemu sockets with ease without having to do tedious modifications like trimming or filing the contact pins in order to get them in. This was a very nice surprise as 99% of the time I find good switches I like, they do not fit in these other sockets so it’s great that these work fine.
Overall, these switches are very nice and sound quite good. The transparent housings plus compatability with Outemu sockets make these a very versatile option for those who enjoy clicky switches but still want the experience of more premium styles of switches.
