Comments on Gateron Beer switches | Comments on BSUN x Zuoce Studio Cheese Grape switches |
Gateron Beer switches are switches inspired by the annual beer festival held in Qindao. With a tactile bump at the top of the keypress and pole bottom-out stem, these switches has an tactile interesting feel on the downstroke with a satisfying bottom-out – Divinikey. | Zuoce Studio is back with it's latest high quality ultra budget priced switches. Zuoce Studio has always been known for creating really good tactiles starting with the Rococo R1 with Haimu. They've done it again with Cheese Grape… a switch that is confusingly unique. When typing fast, the tactile bump subtly becomes lighter, while on slower key presses the tactile bump is more pronounced. How? I have nfi but at 21c per switch, please try them and help confirm that I'm not going crazy – Keebzandcables. |
