Comments on Neo Oat switches | Comments on Keygeek Guns N Roses switches |
Keygeek Oat (previously Evo80 x Keygeek Oat) switches have been developed by QwertyKeys together with Keygeek for the Evo80 and offer a very pleasant thocky sound profile with very good factory lubrication – MonacoKeys. | Guns N Roses is the first non-cheese themed switch by Keys in Cheese studio. The name and colourway is a tribute to one of her favourite rock bands from the 80s. This switch has a kinda deep/thocky and kinda clacky sound profile unlike Blue Cheese V2 which is the current thock king. They've achieved this by using the same materials as Blue Cheese V2, except adding metal powder into the L4 stem blend to make it clack a little – Keebzandcables. |
