Comments on BSUN Hutt switches | Comments on Wingtree Golden Apple 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 Golden Apple V2 switch is the successor to the BSUN Golden Apple tactile switch. This time, they are manufactured by Wingtree - the tactile switch expert. Similar to V1, the V2 also comes with a PEI bottom housing. It gives the switch a vibrant golden color, hence the name golden apple. This is also the first time that Wingtree uses the LY stem on a switch. Overall, the Golden Apple V2 switches are medium toned thocky sounding, and the medium to large tactile bump is super satisfying to type with – Unikeys. |
