Comments on Keygeek Roxy switches | Comments on Keygeek M1 switches |
Clacky is no longer a good word to describe how high-pitched and loud these switches are. For the Keygeek switches that use the P bottom housing, including Roxy, of course, I personally prefer using the word "metallic" to describe their sound profile. The transparent PC top housing not just looks beautiful with glitter, but it also makes the switch feel super smooth overall. It also helps with the top-out sound by making it brighter – Unikeys. | Keygeek's M1 switch is another unique addition to the Keygeek linear switch family. The reason is that M1 is manufactured using Keygeek's new stem mold, which consists of 7 smaller spheres on the stem tip. Comparing it to other classic stem tip designs that Keygeek has such as waffle stem tip (Y2 switch) or spherical stem tip (Y3 switch), the 7 spheres stem tip comes with a firmer and more solid bottom out feel. Sound wise, the 7 spheres stem tip creates a loud and thocky sound profile for the M1 switches, which is also quite different from the spherical stem tip and waffle stem tip which are designed for a quieter and deeper bottom sound – Unikeys. |
