Comments on Keygeek T2 switches | Comments on Gateron Baby Raccoon 2.0 switches |
Keygeek T2 is an OG style linear switch designed by MZ Studio and manufactured by Keygeek. A few features that make them special is: Scratchiness, BUT still feels smooth (?), Super loud and clacky. This is Keygeek's first switch that uses the POM+Kevlar blend, which is a great material choice for a solid and clacky bottom out sound. Both the N1 top housing and the P1 bottom housing are well-balanced "clacky" materials which give the T2 switch a nice, full, and clacky sound profile. The G1 stem and N1 top housing come with a sandy surface texture which is where the scratchy feeling come from – Unikeys. | The Gateron Baby Raccoon 2.0 switches are modern linear switches that combine a silky-smooth typing feel with a focused acoustic profile. Featuring an extended stem, gold-plated spring, and optimized light diffusion, they’re ideal for RGB builds, office setups, and gaming alike – MonacoKeys. |
