Comments on Chosfox Summer Lime Silent switches | Comments on HMX | Sillyworks Hyacinth V2 switches |
The Chosfox Summer Lime silent linear switch is made by LiChiCX, the same foundry as the famous XCJZ LUCY silent linear switch utilizing the same mold and same production method. We have modified the spring and stem for faster actuation – chosfox. | The Hyacinth V1 switch was already a great success, but Sillyworks always strive to reach a higher limit. After almost two years since they released the Hyacinth V1, the V2 version is finally here. Compared to Hyacinth V1, the V2 version had a lot of upgrades and changes; Firstly, the manufacture of the V2 was changed from KTT to HMX. HMX is able to mold more precisely to create more consistent stem length and housing tolerance. If you have used other HMX switches such as the Macaron or Macchiato, you will understand what their molds are like: The stem and housing tolerance is super high as the stem sits super stable in the housing. There is super minimal stem wobble as the housing really closes up on the stem. However, you will never feel that the housing is squishing the stem too tight to create bottom-out issues. That is how precise HMX's molds are. The V2 switches are smooth, tight, and great-sounding – Unikeys. |
