Comments on MMD Princess Linear V4 switches | Comments on HMX Yogurt V1 53g switches |
MMD Princess V4 are the latest version of the MMD Princess switches. The switches now come with PC bottom housing for even more thock and LED diffuser for better illumination. The latest molds have further improved the tolerances reduced stem wobble. As usual with good factory lubing and the well-known pleasant typing feel - these switches are still our favorites! – MonacoKeys. | XLLAB designed the HMX Yogurt switch, which HMX manufactures using its newest stem and bottom housing mold. The P5 bottom housing Yogurt switches use a modified nylon with 40-45% fiberglass added. It is a new nylon blend from HMX and by far the material with the most fiberglass added. What it does to the switches is make them sound super loud, clacky, and full-sounding. With the help of the new stem and bottom housing mold, Yogurt switches come with smooth keystrokes and minimum stem wobble – Unikeys. |
