Comments on HMX Yogurt S switches | Comments on Keygeek Roxy 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. | Clacky is no longer a good word to describe how high-pitched and loud these switches are. For the Keygeek switches that use the P bottom housing, including Roxy, of course, I personally prefer using the word "metallic" to describe their sound profile. The transparent PC top housing not just looks beautiful with glitter, but it also makes the switch feel super smooth overall. It also helps with the top-out sound by making it brighter – Unikeys. |
