It pains me to write this review, but people need to know. I have sampled a few of Varmilo's switch offerings, and this one was the worst. These Sakura L switches came with ZERO factory lube. This is annoying; however, the Iris L switches also came with zero lube, and after hand-lubing them, they felt and sounded good. However, this was not the case with these Sakura Ls. After hand-lubing them (and I'm quite skilled), they are still too scratchy to use. They sound great (all Varmilo switches I have sampled have a great bottom-out sound), and after lubing, they feel buttery smooth. but they are just so scratchy. I can normally deal with some texture and scratch, and in some cases, it can end up being a positive. But the scratch from these is just obnoxious. Would not recommend, unless you like super scratchy switches. P.S. I did find one board in my collection (a vast collection, lol) that masks the scratch sound enough to use them. So they do have a home and I do use them on occasion, but only because one of my ~85 boards has enough foam and muffling tech to reduce the scratch to tolerable levels. Once again I tried to send this review over the email I received, but the link did not work and thus it will not be verified, but rest assured I did buy these and they are scratchy.

I was quite disappointed with these switches at first, but they have grown on me. The first switches I ever got from Varmilo were the Jasmine Ls, and I liked them a lot. Thus, I decided to get more switches to better sample Varmilos' offerings. These Iris L switches came to my door with ZERO lube and sounded super scratchy. On top of this, Varmilo compares this switch to the Holy Panda switch. It is nothing like the Holy Panda. The bump is quite small and not nearly big enough to be in Panda territory. Despite this, after hand-lubing them and using them for a week, I have grown fond of them. After the hand lube, the scratchiness is greatly diminished (but not gone), and I kind of like the little bit of scratch that remains. A bit of texture on the stroke is not always strictly bad. Though the bump is smaller than a Panda, it is not tiny, and I like it. I attempted a few times to send this review from my email inbox, but an error popped up every time. Thus, this review will not be "verified," but I did indeed purchase them and they have become a favorite of mine.

These Jasmine L switches are very smooth thanks to the factory lubing. They are good sounding with a mid and a bit muted clack. They have a quick response time, and I would recommend these to anyone looking for a gaming or speed typing switch. I attempted three times to send this review from my email inbox, but an error popped up every time. Thus, this review will not be "verified," but I did indeed purchase them and I do indeed like them.

My first mechanical keyboard and love the feeling and sensation of the smooth, gliding, and silent key presses. Been eyeing for this since last year but this is sold out at that time. I use walnut case and basic PBT Cherry caps and so happy with the result! This is awesome!

Got a VPT109 Moonlight V3 with Gateron G Pro 3.0 Brown switches but knew already that I wanted the Kailh Prestige Silent switches for it, so before even using it with the brown switches I replaced them all.
Kailh Prestige Silent in that keyboard is like writing on buttercream.
The little sound it makes is almost soothing to the ears.

The switches arrived quickly and with cute containers. Right out of the box they feel fantastic. The color of the switches is also right up my ally. I love them and will definitely be buying from them in the future.

Very soft and practically silent. I didn't end up using it since I prefer thoccy, but I put them on my wife's board instead. I could no longer hear her type from the office.

Every other silent switch sacrifices something to be silent… this one does not.

It’s consistently silent, regardless of how fast you type. No scratchiness or upstroke pings either. Just, wow.

Best silent switches! 10/10 would recommend

These have become my favorite switches of all time!! I used to like tactile switches but now I can't get enough of these smooth feeling silent linears. After trying them I even ordered more so I could put them on all of my favorite keyboards. Thanks Varmilo!!
