Comments on Unikeys x BSUN Udon switches | Comments on Akko Cream Yellow Pro V5 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. | Upgraded version of V3 Cream Yellow Pro. The V5 series redefines the performance limit of budget switches, offering a noticeable upgrade for V3 users who want more, without spending much more. What’s New? With improved lubing consistency and our latest high-precision mold, Akko has further minimized stem wobble, switch ping, and other unwanted noise, delivering a smoother, more stable experience for both typing and gaming. Sound Characteristics: Thocky. Packaging: White Collection Box with Tray. Comes with LED Diffuser for better RGB. 5-pin and fits keycaps with standard MX structure – Akko EU. |
