Comments on Chosfox Voyager V2 switches | Comments on Sillyworks X HMX Waverider V2 switches |
Voyager is a brand-new tactile switch designed by Chosfox and made by JWK. This new switch features "Advanced Tactile". One-of-a-kind Hyper Tactile Switch without the spring and leaf noise – Chosfox. | 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. |
