Comments on Keygeek Guns N Roses switches | Comments on YG Studio x HMX Canglan V2 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 Canglan V2 switches could be the first ever thocky HMX switches. Of course, thocky and clacky are just subjective perceptions of individuals, but if you compare them with other HMX linear switches out there, you will notice the difference. All thanks to the material composition of the stem, the Canglan V2 switches get to sound deeper. However, I never said these switches are quiet… – unikeys. |
