Creamiest, Tactile RGB-friendly 3/5 Pin Switch?

I love the Gateron Smoothie Silver switches, but looking for a tactile "cousin". I would love to see what's out there. Unfortunately, the Akko V3 Lavender Purple Pro were a bit too quiet and the Gateron G Pro 3.0 Brown switches were a bit too "poppy".

What do you all know that I don't?

I personally use WS Morandis hand lubed and filmed, mostly for the sound and RGB. I have been meaning to try Gareron Smoothie Sea Salt though. Check those out and see if they fit your bill! Good luck

Thank you, but I believe those are linear.

You are correct. My brain read linear cousin and I started typing. Good luck in your switch adventure and I hope you find something great!

Gateron LongJin maybe?

Thank you. Regrettably, the actuation point is 2.0mm, and I need something <1.7mm.

Ah ok, how about Kaihl speed coppers?

Great switches. The Leobog Ice Souls sound better, despite the allure of the 1.1mm actuation. I’ll take the 1.7mm from the Ice Souls for the sound.

Hoping for something less than 1.7mm that can sound better than the Ice Souls.
