Comments on Keygeek Full Nylon switches | Comments on Akko Mirror switches |
Keygeek Full Nylon switches are linear switches designed by XL Lab. By incorporating a full Nylon switch, the switch has a more unique, clacky sound compared to LY or POM. The Nylon stem with the Nylon+fiberglass bottom creates a clacky, concentrated sound with some noticeable bass – Divinikey. The Keygeek Full Nylon linear combines different nylon blends in the stem, top, and bottom housing to deliver an ultra-smooth, bassy switch – SerpentKeys. | Akko Mirror switches are initially designed for foamless build with its clean sound profile. The purpose of designing those switches is to reflect (mirror) the authentic sound of any keyboard as much as possible – Akko EU. |
