Comments on MMD Matcha Ice Cream V3 switches | Comments on HMX Lunar Stone switches |
MMD Matcha Ice Cream switch is a unique combination of two popular switches — the Matcha and Cream. The switch features all-POM material. This budget-friendly switch packs a punch with its clacky sound and exceptional performance, offering an affordable yet premium experience. MMD Matcha Ice Cream switch delivers a satisfying "thocky" and "creamy" sound. It's well-balanced —not too loud, yet far from muted — providing an enjoyable auditory experience – LumeKeebs. | 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. |
