Comments on BSUN Spring switches | Comments on Keygeek x Sharkeys Pomkin switches |

Similar to most well-known full POM switches, Pomkin also comes with that classic full and thocky sound signature. With the help of the new top housing mold design, they feel smoother than most full POM switches, but the highly sought-after scratchy sound is still present when you listen to them right next to your ears – unikeys. |
