While it is all preference, I enjoyed buying the mystery switches when I was starting out because you get to try something totally random and might find something that you love or find out more about what you hate. And it’s always a good deal. You might get something that you don’t want but even if you get the cheapest switches, you are not paying more then you would for them if you wanted them. I have received very expensive switches in the past. I considered the whole experience to be very worthwhile.

Don't know much about any of these, though I've heard some positive things about the corals. I'll record sound tests for all of them for a project I'm working on and then probably give them away for shipping...unless I really like one of them.

They probably chose so many basic switch options because they were cheap. They bought these switches specifically for the mystery switches and selling to us at $0.15 per switch is pretty cheap which means they got them even cheaper from the manufacturer. These were all probably old stock the manus had sitting around.

The reason the mystery packs were so good last time is because they were moving warehouses and needed to clear their own inventory.
