Comments on Keygeek Explosion switches | Comments on Keygeek Matcha Pudding switches |
The Keygeek Explosion switch was designed by Awareness Club, the same designer of Keygeek Higanbana switches. As hinted by the name, there was only one goal behind Explosion: it needed to be the most clacky Keygeek switch by far. In order to achieve that, an M4 strengthened POM stem and a N1 nylon bottom housing were chosen for it. Both of these materials are Keygeek's new blends, and they create a clacky, loud, and high-pitched bottom-out sound. With an improved housing mold like the Cera switches, the Explosion switches come with a perfectly balanced typing feel and a satisfying sound signature that many sought after – Unikeys. | Looking for a smooth switch with a rich, refined sound? Keygeek Matcha Pudding offers exactly that. Featuring a UPE stem paired with a PA12 bottom housing, this switch delivers a deep and full sound. The newly polished PA66 top housing helps reduce top-out noise and keeps the overall volume in check. Note: Orders of 90 switches come in Matcha Pudding packaging shown in the product image, while orders of 10 switches are packaged in a bag – LumeKeebs. |
