Comments on Keygeek Guns N Roses switches | Comments on Akko Starlit switches |
Guns N Roses is the first non-cheese themed switch by Keys in Cheese studio. The name and colourway is a tribute to one of her favourite rock bands from the 80s. This switch has a kinda deep/thocky and kinda clacky sound profile unlike Blue Cheese V2 which is the current thock king. They've achieved this by using the same materials as Blue Cheese V2, except adding metal powder into the L4 stem blend to make it clack a little – Keebzandcables. | The Akko Starlit switches feature a glitter-infused PC top casing, capturing the brilliance of stars in the night sky. Starlit switches sound close to Piano Pro switches with a transparent PC case for better RGB, along with a LED diffuser. They feature a tightly coiled spring that ensures even resistance distribution, delivering a smooth bottom-out experience – Akko EU. |
