Comments on Keygeek Guns N Roses switches | Comments on HMX TT Red 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 HMX TT Red switches are manufactured using HMX's new mold set. If you are looking for another clacky HMX switch, you have come to the right place. The new molding design makes them sound clacky, high-pitched, and full at the same time. The PA12 top housing and POM stem ensure its smoothness and a quieter top-out sound. Unlike most HMX switches, which use nylon bottom housing with fiberglass, TT Red has a pure PA66 bottom housing instead. It might make them slightly less clacky and loud, but it helps the switch to sound less thin – Unikeys. |
