NK Cream+ with inserts
The NK Cream+ switches from NovelKeys come with different inserts that alter the sound profile.
Published January 6, 2023
The Cream+ switches by NovelKeys feature a unique hollowed stem, allowing the placement of inserts made of various materials that alter the sound profile of the switch.
The inserts (copper, titanium and silicone) come separately in packs of 120 and are put into the hollow stem of a Cream+ switch.
These are our all new NK Cream+ switches that have a new twist to customization! With our three Cream+ Inserts, it allows the switch to have four unique sound profiles. It's something completely different and it's available now. Find them here: https://t.co/tuBnNl46fl pic.twitter.com/gDYcOZcMod
