Comments on Unikeys x BSUN Udon switches | Comments on Huano Caramel Latte V2 switches |
The Unikeys Udon linear switch is our attempt at trying to create a clacky BSUN switch that is not thin-sounding. The stem material, Y3X, is the same as the Jade Rosales switches; It can be considered an improved LY or Y3 material, and Y3X is slightly softer than LY but much smoother than both LY and Y3. We chose to pair it with a modified PA66 bottom housing to create a full but clacky-sounding bottom out. The PC top housing gives them a clean and sharp top-out sound. Overall, these will be one of the more clacky new BSUN switches in our collection. In order to prevent the lube pooling issues, we chose to only lube the stem sliders and legs with a very thin coat of 205g0. Springs are lubed with dry film – Unikeys. | The new Huano Caramel Latte switches have been manufactured with the latest molds to improve tolerances and precision, V2 also comes with an LED diffuser. The special spherical pole of the stem provides the characteristics of a long pole switch but with a slightly smoother bottom-out – MonacoKeys. |
