Comments on BSUN Hutt switches | Comments on Sillyworks X HMX Waverider V2 switches |
XY Studio clearly doesn't want to let the legend of the Holy Panda switch to die out. That is why they decided to work with BSUN/YOK to create another "masterpiece" of a tactile switch. Inspired by the Hutt Lagoon in Australia, the Hutt switch is on full pink mode. They come with specially picked 20.5mm single-stage palladium coated spring which eliminates the spring crunch to its best extent. Also, the spring itself has a very unique 40gf actuation point and a 49gf bottom-out point which categorizes the switch as light tactile while ensuring a snappy and responsive top out. Lastly, the material choice makes sure the switch's sound is very balanced. It is neither super loud nor muted. You can clearly hear the tactile bump and enjoy a bit of thockiness the bottom-out brings – SerpentKeys. | The Waverider V2 tactile switch is the successor to the classic KTT Waverider tactile switch that was released back in 2023. The new Waverider V2 tactile switch is now manufactured by HMX using their super-popular tactile designs. They come with a P tactile bump and a slightly longer than usual 3.8mm travel distance. This design pays tribute to the V1, which also had a large P and close to D tactile bump and slightly longer travel. Overall, the Waverider V2 switches are clacky, crisp, and clean to type on – Unikeys. |
