I'm not familiar with HiRose switches. How do they compare to Gateron/Cherry MX Black?

Hirose are basically just MX Blacks with an orange slider. They are expensive because of their rarity.

How would these compare to those box Kaihua switches the kids are on about of late? And against Zealios? And, just for fun: Nixies?

Linear is a good choice for MX clones. Just trying to get a feel for the differences. I know vintage MX blacks and Nixies, but not the rest.

Would also like to know if the stem or housing molds are unique for C3 Tangerines compared to standard Gateron black and Zealios. It would be nice to have mid level priced low wobble linears with smoothness in between stock Gateron and Zealios.

I have a handful of samples, I can send a few to anyone (in the USA) who wants to write a comprehensive review to answer those questions. I think they feel very smooth, with little wobble. Gateron makes quality switches.
