Comments on HMX Serene Green switches | Comments on BSUN x Zuoce Studio Macaron switches |
HMX Serene Green switches come with HMX's newly developed POM bottom housing, and it is also the first HMX switch that utilizes POM as its housing material. The modified UPE stem and POM bottom housing create an even fuller and more bassy sound signature than other existing HMX switches. The bottom-out feel is still as solid and firm. They don't feel overly soft because the stem is made of UPE – unikeyboards.com. | Zuoce Studio is one of our favourite switch design studios and they're back with a new budget linear at an astonishing 21c per switch. Featuring one of the most beloved material combo of PC Top, POM Stem and Nylon bottom with a 30% sprinkle of fiberglass for a little extra snap clackle and pop with an extra smooth lube job making them perfect out of the box with no mods. If you prefer a heavier or deeper typing experience you can also spring swap with our longboi springs – Keebz N Cables. |
