No comments on LICHICX Heavy Duty Torch V2 switches. | The POK top case and stem in the Akko Dracula switch ensure an ultra-smooth and comfortable typing experience. Akko's initial use of POK material showcases its exceptional water and impact resistance over POM. While POK may undergo slight color changes with time, we've selected black and dark red hues for improved durability and aesthetics. Moreover, POK is regarded as a potentially more sustainable material than POM. The stem also includes an extra hole at the base for better airflow and smoother performance – Akko. |
