Comments on Keygeek VC switches | Comments on Chilkey Pink Lotus (WS Morandi recolor) switches |
The Keygeek VC linear switch is PicnicWorks' new creation. This is the first Keygeek switch that uses U4+ stem and POM bottom housing at the same time; The U4+ stem supposedly would create a solid, clean, and clacky bottom out sound, but the POM bottom housing dials things down a little bit and makes the overall sound signature fuller and poppier. Paired with the PA66 top housing, the Keygeek VC switch feels smooth and sounds crispy and clean – Unikeys. | No comments on Chilkey Pink Lotus (WS Morandi recolor) switches. |
