Comments on Omnitype OT Heron HE switches | Comments on Wuque Studio WS Flux Heart of the Ocean 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. | Looking for the perfect magnetic switch that balances deep aesthetics, hi-fi acoustics, and esports-grade performance? Inspired by the legendary blue diamond from Titanic, the "Heart of the Ocean" switch captures the deep abyss of the sea and the brilliance of a diamond. It features mesmerizing blue light refraction, a unique 3-layer acoustic structure, and a hollowed-out magnet for unprecedented smoothness and a pure, "thocky" bottom-out. If you crave a mysterious, deep desk aesthetic and top-tier competitive feel, this is your endgame – Diykey. |
