Comments on Keygeek Y3x switches | Comments on Geon Raw Zero switches |
In theory, the Y3X switch is not an upgrade to the Y3 switch. Y3X and Y3 cover different sound and typing spectra. Compared to the classic Y3 switch, Y3X is slightly louder and poppier. Thanks to the spherical stem tip and spherical bottom housing contact point (Same as Keygeek Butterfly Switch), Y3X has a mellower and softer bottom-out feel than Y3 – Unikeys. | Produced with a new mold by GEONWORKS, Raw Zero is a low-pitch linear switch with close-to-zero-wobble. It's the very first one in the market! Due to zero wobble, it may feel heavier than it is, but the more you type with it the softer it will get geon.works. |
