Comments on Keygeek x Sharkeys Pomkin switches | Comments on Novelkeys Cream 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. | NovelKeys Cream switches are incredibly popular thanks to their full POM housing and self lubricating stem. While you can still lubricate these switches to get an even smoother experience, they are already extremely smooth stock, and provide one of the best linear switch experiences – mechboards.co.uk. |
