Comments on Keygeek Cyan switches | Comments on Keygeek Roxy switches |
The very special thing about the Keygeek Cyan switches is that both the top and bottom housing come polished out of factory. Not only the exteriors are polished, more importantly, the interior of the housing and the bottom housing rails are also polished. The reason to do such a thing is to decrease the overall surface friction, and they won't rely on factory lubing too much to ensure its smoothness – Unikeys. | Clacky is no longer a good word to describe how high-pitched and loud these switches are. For the Keygeek switches that use the P bottom housing, including Roxy, of course, I personally prefer using the word "metallic" to describe their sound profile. The transparent PC top housing not just looks beautiful with glitter, but it also makes the switch feel super smooth overall. It also helps with the top-out sound by making it brighter – Unikeys. |
