Comments on Swagkeys x Gateron Onyx switches | Comments on DK Creamery - Blueberry Swirl switches |
Onyx switches are the newest collaboration switch between Swagkeys and Gateron. They are full travel linears that utilize the custom designed molds that have silicone inserts in the bottom housing that act as switch films to improve the sound and feel of the switch. It is similar to the previous SW x Gateron Deeping switch with improved factory lubing and a new stem material that produces a different sound signature. Once lubed (either manually or factory lubed) these are smooth linears with a medium weight spring and a nice loud sound profile. They are available in both unlubed and factory lubed options – Bowl Keyboards. | DK Creamery's Blueberry Swirl is the perfect summer delight. This vibrant creation is meticulously crafted with the finest ingredients from around the world to provide an exquisitely smooth and pleasantly linear typing experience. This treat combines fresh molds, refined factory lubing techniques, and the tried-and-true combination of polycarbonate top housing, nylon bottom housing, and POM stem to ensure an unmatched typing experience – SerpentKeys. |
