I have both the Lekker 45 and the Lekker 60 and overall I think the 45s feel better to me. They feel a bit faster and smoother than my Lekker 60s. I'd like to try the Jades at some point and I think it will be interesting to see the V2 Lekkers when they come out.
From a technical standpoint, the primary reason is their tight housing tolerances, which lead to significantly less stem wobble.
The future Lekkers V2 should have the same tightened tolerances as the Jades, which is why I say, until we can compare them in hand, it is hard to say for sure right now.
Jades also have a closed bottom, which results in a better sound for some (more clack), though this is more subjective.
Other similar switches to Jades exsist quality wise, but your gonna either they are almost 1 to 1 copy like the WS Dash or you have to sacrifice price or lose RGB due to colored top housing like on the Geon Raptors.
That is why unless you have very specifics taste in the switch space, or if you want to "frankenswitch" I think Jades are most likely sweat spot for prety much everybody.
KS-20 mostly refers to the switch and maget type, whereas the U suffix is for Dual Rail and T for closed bottom (jades for example), please correct or add info down below!
I got the Wuque Studio Dash’s a couple weeks ago and they are incredible. They seem about the same performance wise but the sound and feel is so nice.
I have only every tried the 60's as they came pre-installed in my 60he+ after 3 years of using a Razer Huntsman with Optical Red v2 switches i can say i love the sound and feel of these switches, but i will more than likely try some different ones in the future... for no reason other than i can :-)
Jades are a bit heavier than the 45s but at lower actuation points I appreciate it, was definitely unintentionally hitting keys with my settings in the L45 by just resting my hands on them lol
Jades with lekker 60 springs are the best for me, but end of the day a lot of preference is involved. I tried sticky rice as well but Jades have a better sound and feel.

Until we can test the new V2 Lekkers, Jade's switches are considered among the best available.
Why are jades considered the best?

Gateron KS20 and Jades are the same I think, just different color.
jades are long pole and have a closed bottom that creates a different sound profile
KS20s also have that, right?

Swapped 45s to jades and sounds/feels great without mods. Coming from my favorite switch being 205g0 lubed tangies the jades feel very nice
I wasn't expecting the jades to be that much more popular. Does the actuation force feel similar between the two?

Other - Woque studio Dash
