The Gentle V2 Switches from JKDK Studio feature light pink housings with a cherry blossom pink stem, as well as a light guide column. These switches utilise the same silencing method as the XCJZ Lucy switch – SerpentKeys. Lichicx XCJZ Lucy recolor switches: Lichicx Gentle switches - same Mold but different springs and cheaper. | The Moksae silent linear switch is the newest MX style silent linear switch made by HMX. Different from the Silent Sakura switches, the Moksae switches come with a MX stem and a double-shot stem as a better silencing mechanism. These switches are perfect for daily typing duties and office work. They are silent enough not to bother your colleagues, and the bottom-out feel is not mushy, which means they won't bother you either. You can enjoy a quiet and mushy-free typing experience with these switches – Unikeys. |
