Comments on Icey Ice Mango Berry switches | Comments on Sillyworks X HMX Waverider V2 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 Waverider V2 tactile switch is the successor to the classic KTT Waverider tactile switch that was released back in 2023. The new Waverider V2 tactile switch is now manufactured by HMX using their super-popular tactile designs. They come with a P tactile bump and a slightly longer than usual 3.8mm travel distance. This design pays tribute to the V1, which also had a large P and close to D tactile bump and slightly longer travel. Overall, the Waverider V2 switches are clacky, crisp, and clean to type on – Unikeys. |
