Comments on BSUN Golden Apple switches | Comments on Haimu x YG Studio Mulberry switches |
The BSUN Golden Apple switch is the first switch that uses the PEI material. PEI is a high-performance plastic known for its high-temperature resistance, mechanical strength, and electrical insulation properties. When used on a keyboard switch, it not only shows a beautiful golden color, but also provides a firm bottom-out feel and a thocky sound profile – Unikeys. | The Mulberry switch is a new tactile made by Haimu and designed by YG Studio (HMX Macchiato, HMX Canglan and Keygeek Keylin) that contains a metal insert in the stem. In true Haimu fashion, this is another solid tactile that has managed to eliminate the unpleasant plasticky sound of past switches. The factory lubing is also on the lighter side with a tiny bit of pleasant scratch while being smooth enough to use stock. Feel: Rounded medium bump that is felt immediately on keypress. Snappy return from the 20mm long spring. Sound: A deep clack from the combination of the deeper sounding LY stem combined with the metal pole insert for some added brightness on bottom out.
