I hadn't used many switch pads but decided to give these a try, and I was blown away by the quality! The packaging is a simple yet cool looking thick plastic silver holographic bag, each of the pads is stuck to a sheet of thin plastic film which makes removing them quite easy, and they even include a set of tweezers to easily remove (and apply?) the pads. I didn't end up using the tweezers and instead the following method to apply the pads, in case it helps anyone:
1. Remove pad from film (with finger or tweezers)
2. Put the pad on a SWITCH (non-stick side touching the switch)
3. Press the switch into the PCB (in the desired location, obviously)
Once all pads were easily applied using this method I was able to place all the switches and solder (unless using hotswap) and finish the keyboard's assembly.
I compared using and not using these pads on two identical keyboards (same case, pcb, switches, plate, caps [both GMK], stabs) and I can honestly say that there's a difference, but it's not a HUGE difference. The pads make the switch EVERY SO SLIGHTLY deeper and less "clacky", but unless you're doing an A/B comparison I doubt you'd really notice. That said I will NOT be installing these under my switches on future keyboards unless I'm feeling extra snooty but I WILL be using these pads under my stabilizers! These pads are a super cheap alternative to stabilizer pads (since you can cut these pads up) even if they aren't the same shape as typical stab pads, and I think they do a fine job as stab pads (and switch pads if I'm picky).
Pros:
Excellent packaging
Comes with tweezers
Excellent foam
Has a positive effect on the keyboard's sound (albeit very minor)
Can easily be cut up and used for stab pads
Price/value
Cons
Doesn't affect the keyboard's sound THAT much
Conclusion
The price is right here, so if you really crave that padded switch sound or you're looking for cheap and plentiful stab pads (if you're willing to cut these pads up) then get these in your cart ASAP!

Great, but…
These work and material is good quality. But the 2 holes for the metal switch legs are tiny!! I posted a photo to compare with another brand, which have much bigger holes. These DO work and the switches do fit through… But the problem is lining up the sticker perfectly with the PCB socket holes requires surgical precision. If you have good eye sight and good lighting, it'll be fine — but it was a lot more effort for me than the other ones I’ve been using.On the plus side, I’m guessing these smaller holes may provide more dampening since slightly more of the PCB area is covered by the sticker? This is a hobby of micro tuning so maybe that matters to some people.

Works great on my GMMK 2. I wanted to try pe foam mod but couldn’t sacrifice my rgb lights so decided to give these a try. They were well packaged and easy to apply. I had no issues whatsoever. Highly recommend.
