These premium switches are made by Outemu and feature a very tactile keypress.
These are v2.2 switches.
These switches have about the same amount of tactility as Cherry MX Clear switches.
They are PCB-mount, but the two plastic pegs on the bottom of the housing can be trimmed off to allow for use with a plate.

Tamal Firoz (verified owner) –
Ergo clears are my favorite tactile switches and I have been on the hunt for a cheaper alternative wherein I won’t have to buy the switches and springs separately.
In that regard the Skies are superb; The 62g variant is nicely tactile with a very snappy upstroke (possibly my fav aspect of this switch).
However, there is some housing wobble so switch filming is encouraged (I always switch film regardless). Moreover, there is noticeable Stem wobble which can’t be fixed with switch film regardless of the switch.
Good news is that outemu sells tight top housings (no slot top) that negate the need for films, while at the same time vastly reducing stem wobble in both Front/Back and side/side directions. The downside is a higher pitched upstroke but this is easily controlled by applying lube in the correct areas.
In short – despite my misgivings, I absolutely LOVE LOVE this switch. I prefer these to Durock Koalas, which I got in last week after paying express shipping from China, and those cost 3 times what I paid for the Skies. Kinda feel jebaited after paying too much after buying into hype, wish I just got more skies instead!
TLDR: This shit slaps yo
