Comments on Aflion Blue Sky switches

The MZ Z1 delivers a marbly sound profile that’s smooth and satisfying with every keystroke. MZ Studio, known for the popular Keygeek Y2 and Y3 switches, brings their expertise to the Keygeek Z1, creating a switch with a smooth feel and a marbly sound – LumeKeebs.

The Aflion Blue Sky is part of Aflion's 2023 lineup and features a brand new mould that results in better quality and tolerances. Aflion is the manufacturer behind the Melody and Pink Robin as well as the Invokeys switches and is known for their amazing quality and sound. This switch comes factory lubed and therefore is ready to use out of the box. Their sound and feel is very similar to that of the Invokeys Matcha Latte – Beaverkeys.
