Has anybody got experience of the Kiwi switches? They seem ideal for me EXCEPT that they are incredibly green and it sounds like they probably disrupt RGB backlighting from what little I have been able to find out. I don't know how bad the effect is, though.

I was going to go for a set of Gateron Kangaroos but I read that the Kiwis had less post wiggle. Why do they have to be so hulked out??

I haven’t use them in over a year but I remember them being plasticy sounding with a mild bump. Why do you want to use them is the real question and what are you looking for in a switch?

I know I like tactile already and this will be a work-from-home keyboard so lots of use. Plasticy sounding doesn't sound too promising tbh. I'm basically looking for a high quality tactile switch and the minimal post wobble of the Kiwis appealed since that's the one thing you can't really mod and apparently the Kangaroos suffered a bit from it. I could just be splitting hairs though.
