Comments on Keygeek x Moyu Athena (40g) switches | Comments on Unikeys x Keygeek Uni switches |
Following the runaway success of the HMX Hades V2 – where depth (in both sound and visual aesthetic) met darkness—Athena rises as its radiant counterpart. Forged from the same mythic lineage, this is the next chapter in a switch series inspired by the gods themselves – Thocc Exchange. | Finally! Unikeys has a Uni switch. The Uni linear switch was designed in-house by Unikeys and manufactured by Keygeek. The colorway was inspired by the real boss behind the scenes - our fierce toy poodle Uni. The Uni switch is Keygeek's first full PA12 housing linear switch; PA12 housing has an extremely low surface friction coefficient which ensures smooth travel. When paired with a strengthened UPE stem, Uni switch overall sounds loud and deep – Unikeys. |
