Comments on Sarokeys x Geon Strawberry Wine V2 switches | Comments on HMX Twilight switches |
The Sarokeys x Geon Strawberry Wine V2 Switches are a complete revamp of the V1 switches. With different materials from the Y3 stem for better sound and bottom-out feel to the PA12 bottom housing which is the same as the Sarokeys BCP switches. A light diffuser is now included as well as an upgraded nickel contact leaf – SerpentKeys. | The HMX Twilight linear switch can be seen as a Cheese switch with a longer travel. It has the same materials as the Cheese switches, but the total travel is now around 3.85mm. The change in travel distance makes the Twilight switches a tiny bit quieter and lower-pitched than Cheese, but they are still the OG clacky HMX switch you are familiar with. |
