Comments on Keygeek Guns N Roses switches

PA, which stands for Polyamide or Nylon, is a family of strong and durable plastics. As hinted by the name, the Keygeek PA switch is made fully of nylon. Why full nylon? The answer is to make it stand out among already existing clacky switches. Different from LY or POM, a nylon stem plus a nylon bottom housing creates a clacky yet bassy and condensed sound profile. It sounds relatively on the louder side, clacky, and pleasant. A modified nylon top housing is custom-made to increase the overall smoothness of the switch. The new mold also comes to aid in making the overall travel silky and effortless – Unikeys.

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.
