I ordered these because I wanted to try JWK Nylon switches and see how they compared to PC Top + Nylon bottom JWK as well as Cherry and SP-Star meteor switches. In terms of smoothness, these stock are way smoother than the Cherry stock and lubed switches and slightly smoother than the SP-Star stock and lubed switches. They are some of the smoothest switches I've ever tried. For me personally, the weight of the springs were a bit light but still felt very nice, I didn't hear too much spring ping but it did exist in some switches. In terms of sound, these were a tad deeper than the PC Top + Nylon bottom JWK switches. It was hard to compare them to Cherry and the SP-Stars, they all sounded deep but they just had different tones of deepness. Nonetheless, if anyone was looking for some smooth linears that could be used stock and prefer a decently light weight spring, I would definitely recommend these!
