Comments on Sillyworks X HMX Waverider V2 switches | Comments on BSUN x Zuoce Studio Cheese Grape switches |
The Waverider V2 tactile switch is the successor to the classic KTT Waverider tactile switch that was released back in 2023. The new Waverider V2 tactile switch is now manufactured by HMX using their super-popular tactile designs. They come with a P tactile bump and a slightly longer than usual 3.8mm travel distance. This design pays tribute to the V1, which also had a large P and close to D tactile bump and slightly longer travel. Overall, the Waverider V2 switches are clacky, crisp, and clean to type on – Unikeys. | Zuoce Studio is back with it's latest high quality ultra budget priced switches. Zuoce Studio has always been known for creating really good tactiles starting with the Rococo R1 with Haimu. They've done it again with Cheese Grape… a switch that is confusingly unique. When typing fast, the tactile bump subtly becomes lighter, while on slower key presses the tactile bump is more pronounced. How? I have nfi but at 21c per switch, please try them and help confirm that I'm not going crazy – Keebzandcables. |
