Comments on Kailh Cocoa switches | Comments on Gateron Snow Rabbit switches |
Kailh Cocoa Switches is featured in the popular WOBKEY Rainy75 Keyboard Pro and Crush 80 Pro series. It has a long pole stem with a POM top housing material and a PA66 bottom housing material. The Kailh Cocoa has a full body sound that harmonizes a high-pitched clack and a mid-toned creamy sound profile – Lume Keebs. | It's like a blend of Gateron RAW, Smoothie, and NK Creams. Made with Gateron's latest mold, it's all POM, so it's super smooth and has a 4mm travel. Acid&Co. fixed the overlubing issue for an even smoother feel, no extra work needed. The spring weight is between Gateron Red and Yellow, so it feels just right. And it's got a white housing that's perfect for showing off your keyboard's RGB lighting – KeebzNCables. |
