Comments on Icey Ice Mango Berry switches | Comments on GAZZEW Boba U4 switches |
Icey Icey MangoBerry is a switch inspired by the Strawberry and Mango Twin Tower Shaved Ice Dessert by a humble Perth Taiwanese dessert joint by the name of Icey Ice that closed down in 2018 (replaced by Dessert Garden). It's a switch that we started working on in mid-2024 when POK was the new flavour of the month. It's a sharp medium tactility top bump tactile. Sounds deep (thocky) in foamed up boards and clackier in foamless configurations – Keebz N Cables. | The Gazzew Boba U4 Switch combines a smooth tactile feeling with a silent sound – keygem. |
