In celebration of our 3rd anniversary, we’d like to present DK Creamery – Birthday Cake! These striking light tactiles feature creamy white housings and 5 vibrant sprinkle-colored stems. Inside we’ve paired a well-rounded short tactile bump with minimal pre-travel to provide a gentle and satisfying tactility. The switches also boast the classic combination of polycarbonate top housings, nylon bottom housings, and POM stems to further elevate the typing experience! – Dangkeebs. | The GAZZEW Boba U4T is one of the best tactile Switches you can currently get for your mechanical keyboard. It combines a smooth tactile feeling with a deep thocky sound profile. These housings are GAZZEW's new proprietary plastic blend that is softer and smoother than nylon, resulting in an excellent thocky sound profile – keygem. |
