Comments on Kinetic Labs Turtle switches

Upgraded version of the Cream Yellow.

The materials in the Turtle silent tactile switch were especially selected by Haimu to produce a silent yet satisfying tactile switch. The combination of modified Nylon housings and POK stem result in a switch that is both silent and tactile with a prominent tactile bump – Kinetic Labs.
