Wow, I think I’m sold. Big props to @MOMOKA or delivering a solid switch even in the face of skepticism from all angles from the community!
Great write up as usual Deadeye! I think one thing you forgot was that the lower activation was supposed to be a feature, not necessarily a quirk. Although how you feel about this in practice probably comes down to preference
Thanks much! I enjoy that people enjoy it.
Ah, perhaps I should have worded that “quirky feature” - I do know the lower activation is intended. I also wouldn’t be surprised if that light mechanical resistance was intended as well; I have a hunch that is helping with the stability during travel.
Aright y’all, here’s the review of the Momoka FROG Linear switches:

A big THANK YOU to @MOMOKA for giving me this opportunity. Can’t wait for those hall-effects to come into action!
(I’ll continue to upload any relevant information on the website if anything surfaces).
Nice! Liked, subscribed, and bell icon SMASHED. Great review buddy.
I’m still waiting on my switches
I feel you! I was joking just yesterday that I thought I’d located the in-stock Water Kings I’d ordered a month+ ago:
Got mine today. Can attest to this review being spot-on.
My short take: nice factory lubed switches that look pretty and feel stable. If they were 5 pin I would probably consider them on more boards. For now, these will be hot swap only. And a positive thing about them is that the housing size is really good for hot swap. Very easy to get in and out of the plate.
Ahoy - thought I’d let you know that Kono is doing a GB of these:
I think these are very worth it at 50 cents apiece - if you need a quality 3-pin linear, Frogs are a great option. Smooth, stable, and compatible with anything - more butter than skate, and of course, very RGB-friendly.
You know, I swore I wouldn’t buy any more linears yet here I am. I’d had my eye on these so I’m in for a batch.
I bought a batch from mku a few weeks ago and really impressed. If you are allergic to loobing these are easily the smoothest, most consistent factory loob switch I’ve used. Will probably get more.
This looks interesting. Would you say the bottom out is soft? Do you know how they feel compared to topre’s bottom-out feel or MX silent switches’ bottom-out feel?
Not that soft; there’s no give at bottom-out and no soft pads. It’s more like a gentle knock with a knuckle vs a steel door knocker, if that makes sense.
They really are quite nice. I almost built my Haus with them, but decided to put them in my Sangeo60 that will be here next week. Plan to use them stock.
