Their factory lubing is ass tbh. They're hella loud so they need a fair amount of krytox because tribosys didn't do shit. But after krytox they're smooth as silk while still retaining a nice chunky tactility assuming you avoided the legs. Plus they sound like the building sound from the Lego games, which is great.

Gateron yellow pro 2.0 or leobog graywood v2 and above pretty much don't need to be lubed. They don't have cherry interference either.

But imo the best sounding budget linear is the akko rose red. Definitely benefits from lubing but not filming.

Tactiles you can grab some akko cs lavenders for poppy full sound, but they need a fair amount of krytox (avoiding the legs) to not sound like a machine gun. After that though they're nice and medium sounding, super poppy and crisp. The way I'd describe them is the Lego building sound from the Lego games. These are by far my favourite. For more flat but softer sound the jelly purples with krytox will fit that bill. Besides these I haven't found any tactiles that do it for me.
