Comments on Outemu Silent Lemon/Lime V3 switches | Comments on Thocc Exchange Unity switches |
The newest version of Outemu's popular silent switches. Version 3 now comes with improved molds for better tolerances, new housing materials for even better sound, and improved springs for a better typing feel. LED diffusors have also been added! – MonacoKeys. | Unity is the first release in our homegrown Impact Series—a line of switches created not just for performance, but for purpose. Each design in this series reflects a charitable cause through its materials, symbolism, and emotional intent – Thocc Exchange. This project is deeply personal. I’m someone who has lived with suicidal thoughts, and survived through them after the passing of my wonderful mother, Jackie. And I know how powerful it is when someone simply sits beside you, without judgment, without fixing, just staying present in the dark. That’s what Unity stands for. (…) This switch is essentially a heavily customised Outemu Silent Cream Yellow Pro. I started with this switch as it is our most popular silent tactile switch from Outemu and we have turned it into something I consider the best silent tactile on the market for a budget price – Matty. |
