Recommendations for alternatives to Gateron G Pro 3.0 White switches? They should be the same, only smoother!

I have the Gateron G Pro 3.0 White switches, which I like, considering their low price. However. They're not that smooth compared to the Red variant.

I previously had the Red variant, which I found to be smoother. And to my understanding this has to do with the springs being lighter in the white ones, which is making them feel less smooth? To my understanding, a heavier spring covers up the, err.. un-smoothness?

Anyway. I don't want the most smoothest switch ever, and I'm too old and too tired to go the custom switch route again. I'm okay with 'good enough'.

I haven't kept up with this community for like 5 years or so now. I assume we've seen like a billion new switches since then. Do you have any recommendations?
