Comments on Keygeek Guns N Roses switches | Comments on Keygeek Explosion 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 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. |
