Comments on Keygeek Butterfly switches | Comments on Keygeek Guns N Roses switches |
The Keygeek Butterfly linear switch is very unique in two aspects: It comes with not just a spherical stem tip, there is also a spherical contact point in the bottom housing; During the keystroke, the spherical stem tip hits the spherical contact point to create a deep and thocky sound profile. The keygeek butterfly linear switch might be the best thocky sounding keygeek switch so far. After fine tuning the material blend and molding design, the Butterfly switches sound deeper, thockier, and noise free; there is no spring or leaf noise during typing – Unikeys. | Guns N Roses is the first non-cheese themed switch by Keys in Cheese studio. The name and colourway is a tribute to one of her favourite rock bands from the 80s. This switch has a kinda deep/thocky and kinda clacky sound profile unlike Blue Cheese V2 which is the current thock king. They've achieved this by using the same materials as Blue Cheese V2, except adding metal powder into the L4 stem blend to make it clack a little – Keebzandcables. |
