Overview
The Neon is a linear switch from Owlab, manufactured by SWK (Swikeys) and introduced after the brand's Tungsten line. It combines a nylon-blend housing with a POM stem in an anti-wobble design and arrives lightly lubed from the factory.
Reviewers describe it as smooth in stock form with little stem wobble, and note a crisp, higher-pitched clacky sound produced by its long stem.

A loud, confident linear. It's close to the Dragon Ghost, though to my ear the Dragon Ghost is the louder of the two - the Neon leans a little creamier while still being noisy, which I like; there's none of the discordant edge. I'm running it in my spacebar right now and as a spacebar switch the sound is fantastic. Whether I'd build a whole board around it including the alphas, I'm less sure - but when you want sound in just one spot, it's perfect. Heads up: it's loud, and at 62g some will find it heavy (I love it, and that weight is exactly why it's such a great spacebar switch).
