Bought this because I work in excel, and I am impressed. Having never used cherry reds, I didn't really know what to expect, but these almost feel like they've been lubed. Super smooth and quiet, I honestly like the feel better than my lubed gat yellows. Maybe that just speaks to my inexperience in lubing switches. There is no hotswap, but for the price, that's not that big of a deal. Would recommend.
