I bought the Womier RD75 Pro a couple of months ago, and although It's been great as a first "real" mechanical keyboard for me, the switches are very slightly scratchy, and even though I almost never notice it, I would like a slightly more premium typing experience. I'm trying not to go over 50 dollars for a set of switches for it, any recommendations?

And while I'm at it, have any of you bought this keyboard as well?

I don't have the patience to do that, and after looking for a bit it seems like gateron's pro v3s are cheap enough and high quality, was thinking of going for the creamy yellows too.

Swabbing grease is faster than pulling switches. And switches aren't necessarily pre-lubbed either so you could still have scratching. The gateron factory oil is light oil and can be scratchy. That's why keyboard companies list whether their switches are lubbed independent of the brand of switch.
