The thock king is back in a brand-new mould and even thockier than V1. Compared to V1, both the top housing and stem have tighter tolerances resulting in an improved key press feel. A new factory lubing method is also used making it smoother than before with a more consistent bottom-out sound to match. Th switch leaf has also been upgraded for improved consistency and responsiveness. The top housing now also says "Cheese", so all your friends will know you are reppin' that Cheese – KeebzNCables. | No comments on Gateron Cap V2 Milky Yellow switches. |
