The ultimate collision of elite custom acoustics and zero-latency esports performance. Featuring a world-first "Internal Sound Pack" and a dampened soft-elastic recoil for the perfect galloping "Thock" – Diykey. | HErons (see what we did there) are the first custom Omnitype switches and our first dip into the HE scene. We sought out to offer an HE switch that actually sounds good, in a world filled with bad sounding HE switches. We are very happy with how the Herons ended up sounding and are excited to bring the details of the enthusiast community in to HE builds – Omnitype. |
