Comments on Keygeek Cera switches | Comments on Durock Mocha Silk switches |
The Keygeek Cera linear switch is Keygeek's another full POM switch. Unlike POMkin, Cera has a flat pole tip for a more clacky and crispy sound profile. Designer Gearpod also commissioned a new housing mold for them. Because full POM switches tend to have more surface friction, the sizes of the top housing opening and bottom housing stem hole have been adjusted to make sure the stem wobble is minimal while eliminating the sluggish feeling caused by the syringe effect. Material-wise, the POM stem was modified with ceramic powder added to increase its hardness and lower POM's surface friction coefficient as much as possible. The Cera switch also comes with a different factory lubrication method from previous Keygeek switches: The stem is lubed with dry film. The top housing is dry to get rid of the oily feeling – Unikeys. | Full POK Housing for Smoother push feel. Optimized housing and Stem for Minimum Wobble. Thocky Sound performance with Special long Pole. Pantone 2025 Mocha Mousse Housing and Creamy Silk Stems. Improved factory lubing – beaverkeys. |
