I don't like them.

I needed a numpad to go with me TKL keyboard, because I occasionally do data entry. I picked up an Epomaker TH21 with yellow switches and I hated it. I'd naively thought "I'll get a numpad from the same folks that made the keyboard that I love" and didn't check the switches.

My keyboard (Ajazz k870t) has brown switches. They're loud and bouncy and I love them.

This worries me since I'm waiting on a kb with yellow switches (which I've never used). I recently bought an Ajazz 60% with blues that I absolutely looooove typing on

I hope you end up loving your yellow switches. I just needed a different type of feedback when doing data entry.

If you're expecting an experience like with blue or brown switches then you might be disappointed. Yellows are linear, so there's no bump/click when the press registers.

I really like yellows for gaming, but if you'll mostly be typing then you might prefer something else.
