Comments on Keygeek x Sharkeys Pomkin switches | Comments on HMX Lunar Stone switches |
Keygeek Pomkin switches are Keygeek's first full POM linear switch. Similar to most well-known full POM switches, Pomkin also comes with that classic full and thocky sound signature. With the help of the new top housing mold design, they feel smoother than most full POM switches, but the highly sought-after scratchy sound is still present when you listen to them right next to your ears – unikeys. | The HMX Lunar Stone linear switches are manufactured using HMX's brand-new full POM housing mold. It is the first full POM HMX switch. As the first full POM HMX switch, we expected it to sound and feel a bit different from other HMX switches in the market. They have proven to be quite unique; They sound fuller and thockier than most HMX switches yet still come with the bassy bottom-out sound. The travel feels very smooth yet there is audible scratch since that's what most people love about full POM switches – Unikeys. |
