Comments on Keygeek Full Nylon switches | Comments on Neo Oat 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. | Keygeek Oat (previously Evo80 x Keygeek Oat) switches have been developed by QwertyKeys together with Keygeek for the Evo80 and offer a very pleasant thocky sound profile with very good factory lubrication – MonacoKeys. |
