Comments on Novelkeys Cream switches

The Taro Ice Cream is a light linear switch with a super smooth traveling and great clacky sound! Very similar to the Strawberry Ice Cream but with a light guide that helps with the overall feel of the switch and diffuse RGB light! – diykey.net.

NovelKeys Cream switches are incredibly popular thanks to their full POM housing and self lubricating stem. While you can still lubricate these switches to get an even smoother experience, they are already extremely smooth stock, and provide one of the best linear switch experiences – mechboards.co.uk.
