Comments on Keygeek Mirror Lake V2 switches | Comments on Keylist Kitty 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 Kitty linear switch designed by Keylist Studio features a cute kittycat paw light diffuser on the top housing. With transparent keycaps on and RGB underglow, the kittypaws light up and look very adorable. Material-wise, Kitty switches come with an HPE stem and PA66 bottom housing for a thocky and relatively deep sound profile. The HPE stem also ensures each keystroke is smooth and clean – Unikeys. |
