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. | 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. |
