Comments on DK Creamery - Birthday Cake switches | Comments on Gazzew U4Tx switches |
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. | Gazzew U4Tx Tactile Switches are a thocky version of Gazzew's U4T (U4 standing for "euphoria") switches featuring their signature "D" sound profile. U4Tx feature a mechanism dampening the upstroke and giving a satisfying thock on downstroke which makes them a perfect choice for those looking for a mostly silent switch that still gives a clear feedback – OZO. The all-new Gazzew U4Tx is here! The updated construction of these tactile switches provide a more pronounced bump upon downstroke and a smooth, silent upstroke thanks to the pads on the stem. Virtually wobble-free, the dust-proof stems are using a box design now. A clear top housing for RGB lighting and a new proprietary plastic for its bottom housing completes the look to match your chase for the ultimate thocky experience! – Pantheonkeys. |
