Comments on HMX Yogurt S switches | Comments on Keygeek x Sharkeys Pomkin 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. | Keygeek Pomkin switches are Keygeek's first full POM linear switch. Similar to most well-known full POM switches, Pomkin also comes with that classic full and thocky sound signature. With the help of the new top housing mold design, they feel smoother than most full POM switches, but the highly sought-after scratchy sound is still present when you listen to them right next to your ears – unikeys. |
