Comments on Keygeek Tipsy Red Blush switches | Comments on Keygeek Cyan switches |
Keygeek Blush switch benefits from Keygeek's newest molding and factory lubing; They help improve the overall typing feel while still maintaining the minimum stem wobble and pleasant bottom-out sound. The L4 stem and PA12 bottom housing create a crisp and full keystroke sound; The U4 top housing ensures smooth travel while tuning down the top-out sound to its greatest extent. Overall, the blush switches come with a more pronounced bottom-out sound and a quieter and less noisy top out sound signature – Unikeys. | The very special thing about the Keygeek Cyan switches is that both the top and bottom housing come polished out of factory. Not only the exteriors are polished, more importantly, the interior of the housing and the bottom housing rails are also polished. The reason to do such a thing is to decrease the overall surface friction, and they won't rely on factory lubing too much to ensure its smoothness – Unikeys. |
