Comments on Haimu x YG Studio Mulberry switches | Comments on Gateron Beer switches |
The Mulberry switch is a new tactile made by Haimu and designed by YG Studio (HMX Macchiato, HMX Canglan and Keygeek Keylin) that contains a metal insert in the stem. In true Haimu fashion, this is another solid tactile that has managed to eliminate the unpleasant plasticky sound of past switches. The factory lubing is also on the lighter side with a tiny bit of pleasant scratch while being smooth enough to use stock. Feel: Rounded medium bump that is felt immediately on keypress. Snappy return from the 20mm long spring. Sound: A deep clack from the combination of the deeper sounding LY stem combined with the metal pole insert for some added brightness on bottom out. (Hipyo Tech translation: Loud THOCKS. This spacebar is THOCK) – Keebz N Cables. | Gateron Beer switches are switches inspired by the annual beer festival held in Qindao. With a tactile bump at the top of the keypress and pole bottom-out stem, these switches has an tactile interesting feel on the downstroke with a satisfying bottom-out – Divinikey. |
