Overview
The NovelKeys Blueberry is a tactile switch made in collaboration with Kailh, positioned as the tactile counterpart to the linear Cream. It reuses the Cream's POM housing paired with a blue POM stem, and is defined by an unusually long, plateau-style tactile bump that produces a drawn-out, forceful tactile event rather than a sharp snap.
Reviewers describe stock switches as somewhat scratchy with audible spring ping, traits often reduced through lubrication. The Blueberry has since been discontinued.

The classic tactile. I love the natural scratch - both the sound and the feel of it - that comes through here, and the bump is strong. I gave it four rather than five only because I need more time with it; NK Cream is a longtime favorite of mine, so five is very possible later. The 80g bottom-out is genuinely heavy, and it isn't factory lubed, so expect to lube it and deal with some spring ping yourself. But if you like Cherry, you'll probably like this. Run it in a clacky board with no foam. A heavier spring swap is worth considering if 80g is too much.
