Comments on BSUN Raw switches | Comments on Keebz N Cables Ice Kachang Linear switches |
BSUN Raw Switches are designed by Geon in order to best represent BSUN's linear switches in a natural, raw state. This also expands into not utilizing dye for the material in order to emphasize its "rawness" – Divinikey. | The Ice Kachang tactile was the first switch in our Shaved Ice series and inspired by a childhood favourite dessert thanks to all the Malaysians and Singaporeans in Perth. For those who are familiar with the ice kachang/ais kacang, we hope the colourway is remiscent of some of the many elements you'd find in this amazing dessert. We decided to make a linear equivalent of the Ice Kachang Tactiles by getting rid of the bump, dodgy leaf of V2, adding some more travel but still long pole and going for a transparent PC stem. The combo also adds some brightness to Aflion's signature deep sound profile – KeebzNCables. |
