Compared to V1, both the top housing and stem have tighter tolerances resulting in an improved key press feel.

Th switch leaf has also been upgraded for improved consistency and responsiveness. The top housing now also says "Cheese", so all your friends will know you are reppin' that Cheese – KeebzNCables. |
