Comments on HMX Snowfall switches | Comments on Keebz N Cables Ice Kachang V2 switches |
These are tactile switches manufactured by HMX. The glittery sparkle inside the polycarbonate top housing evokes the image of snow – yushakobo.jp. Tactility that puts tactility to shame – ktechs. | The Ice Kachang is the first switch in our Shaved Ice series and inspired by a childhood favourite dessert thanks to all the Malaysians and Singaporeans in Perth. For those who are familiar with the ice kachang/ais kacang, we hope the colourway is remiscent of some of the many elements you'd find in this amazing dessert. Now about the switch… it's a long pole medium tactile with a rounded bump with minimal pre-travel. It comes with two options, hand lubed from factory for the cbf crowd like myself and unlubed for enthusiasts with trust issues – KeebzNCables. |
