Comments on HMX Caramel Pudding switches | Comments on Unikeys x Keygeek Uni 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. | Finally! Unikeys has a Uni switch. The Uni linear switch was designed in-house by Unikeys and manufactured by Keygeek. The colorway was inspired by the real boss behind the scenes - our fierce toy poodle Uni. The Uni switch is Keygeek's first full PA12 housing linear switch; PA12 housing has an extremely low surface friction coefficient which ensures smooth travel. When paired with a strengthened UPE stem, Uni switch overall sounds loud and deep – Unikeys. |
