Comments on Swagkeys x Gateron Onyx switches | Comments on KTT HaluHalo V2 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. | HaluHalo V2 Switches combine our love for the Filipino dessert halo halo, and pastel tones. The switches feature a pastel purple housing, and various pastel stems to resemble the numerous toppings in halo halo. They will be a sweet addition to any set-up! – Dangkeebs. Manufactured by KTT exclusively for Dangkeebs. Collectible sticker included with all orders while supplies last. Collectible ice cream pint packaging available for orders with 70 or more switches. |
