Comments on Omnitype OT Heron HE switches | Comments on TTC Pro KOM HE Magneto switches |
HErons (see what we did there) are the first custom Omnitype switches and our first dip into the HE scene. We sought out to offer an HE switch that actually sounds good, in a world filled with bad sounding HE switches. We are very happy with how the Herons ended up sounding and are excited to bring the details of the enthusiast community in to HE builds – Omnitype. | No comments on TTC Pro KOM HE Magneto switches. |
