Comments on GAZZEW U4T switches | Comments on Keebz N Cables Mountain King switches |
The GAZZEW U4T (non-silent thocky) 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. Important: This is the new version of the U4 switch which is made with a new material, which isn't prone to discoloration from using EVA foam with your keyboard, yet retains the feel of the original – keygem. | Introducing the KeebzNCables x clickpig Mountain King, the first switch in our KeebzNCables community collaboration series! Based off Australia's own tactile gold clickpig's notorious BBT frankenswitch, the Mountain King is a long pole tactile sporting a sharp medium/heavy strength bump, encased in a JWICK nylon T1 housing. This particular combo results in a lively sounding switch with a punchy tactile bump and a satisfyingly crisp bottom out. The Mountain Kings are a great addition for those who enjoy experimenting and tinkering with their switches, as even minor changes will result in a noticeably different experience. Spring swapping to 62g two-stage spring will result in a snappy tactile with an almost feather-light linear section post bump. Alternatively, drop in a 65g long spring for a tactile bump that bumps back. Mountain Kings come with a small amount of factory oil to increase stock performance, however do not come pre-greased, so they're ready to lube without needing to scrape out any factory lube first. |
