Comments on Keebz N Cables Ice Kachang Linear switches | Comments on Cherry MX1A Hyperglide Black switches |
The Ice Kachang tactile was the first switch in our Shaved Ice series and inspired by a childhood favourite dessert thanks to all the Malaysians and Singaporeans in Perth. For those who are familiar with the ice kachang/ais kacang, we hope the colourway is remiscent of some of the many elements you'd find in this amazing dessert. We decided to make a linear equivalent of the Ice Kachang Tactiles by getting rid of the bump, dodgy leaf of V2, adding some more travel but still long pole and going for a transparent PC stem. The combo also adds some brightness to Aflion's signature deep sound profile – KeebzNCables. | The classic hg black is here. It is the holy grail for every custom keyboard enthusiast. No matter if you like it raw or broken in, the hg black always provide you with the potential for you to mod it to the way you like – Unikeys. |
