Comments on Keygeek Mirror Lake V2 switches | Comments on Keygeek VC switches |
Do they remind you of a peaceful ice lake? The Keygeek Mirror Lake V2 switch is a full upgrade from the V1. The major improvement is that they are now manufactured using Keygeek's newest mold set, which fixes some of the issues that existed on the V1, such as stem wobble, loud but noisy bottom-out sound, etc. The UPE stem plus PBT+%30 FG bottom housing creates a loud, clacky, and clean sound profile. The UPE stem also buffers the bottom-out feel to make it more comfortable to type with. Just as we always say, don't expect Keygeek's flat tip UPE stems to sound deep or thocky. They are more like Keygeek's LY blend for clacky switches – Unikeys. | The Keygeek VC linear switch is PicnicWorks' new creation. This is the first Keygeek switch that uses U4+ stem and POM bottom housing at the same time; The U4+ stem supposedly would create a solid, clean, and clacky bottom out sound, but the POM bottom housing dials things down a little bit and makes the overall sound signature fuller and poppier. Paired with the PA66 top housing, the Keygeek VC switch feels smooth and sounds crispy and clean – Unikeys. |
