Produced with a new mold by GEONWORKS, Raw Zero is a low-pitch linear switch with close-to-zero-wobble. It's the very first one in the market! Due to zero wobble, it may feel heavier than it is, but the more you type with it the softer it will get geon.works. | Keygeek Pomkin switches are Keygeek's first full POM linear switch. Similar to most well-known full POM switches, Pomkin also comes with that classic full and thocky sound signature. With the help of the new top housing mold design, they feel smoother than most full POM switches, but the highly sought-after scratchy sound is still present when you listen to them right next to your ears – unikeys. |
