Comments on HMX Yogurt S switches | Comments on Akko Mirror switches |
HMX Yogurt S is here! Designed as a sharper, more aggressive evolution of the Yogurt series, it delivers the most clacky sound HMX has ever produced — noticeably brighter and louder than the Yogurt V2. Featuring a hardened modified POM stem and thickened P7 bottom housing with the highest fiberglass content to date – SerpentKeys. HMX Yogurt S Switches are linear switches that feature HMX's new P7 material which is HMX's stiffest material with a high fiberglass percentage. Together with the hardened POM stem, it produces a high-pitched and crisp sound profile – Divinikey. | Akko Mirror switches are initially designed for foamless build with its clean sound profile. The purpose of designing those switches is to reflect (mirror) the authentic sound of any keyboard as much as possible – Akko EU. |
