Comments on HMX Yogurt S switches | Comments on Keygeek Cyan 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. | The very special thing about the Keygeek Cyan switches is that both the top and bottom housing come polished out of factory. Not only the exteriors are polished, more importantly, the interior of the housing and the bottom housing rails are also polished. The reason to do such a thing is to decrease the overall surface friction, and they won't rely on factory lubing too much to ensure its smoothness – Unikeys. |
