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. | 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. |
