Comments on HMX Caramel Pudding switches | Comments on Keygeek Guns N Roses switches |
The HMX Caramel Pudding switches feature a unique modified UPE stem. Unlike traditional UPE, this version has been enhanced by HMX to improve its strength and durability, making it less soft and less prone to breaking. Paired with a PA66 bottom housing and PA12 top housing, it offers a deeper sound compared to other HMX switches – SerpentKeys. | Guns N Roses is the first non-cheese themed switch by Keys in Cheese studio. The name and colourway is a tribute to one of her favourite rock bands from the 80s. This switch has a kinda deep/thocky and kinda clacky sound profile unlike Blue Cheese V2 which is the current thock king. They've achieved this by using the same materials as Blue Cheese V2, except adding metal powder into the L4 stem blend to make it clack a little – Keebzandcables. |
