Comments on WingTree Camellia switches | Comments on Akko Creamy Yellow U1 switches |
The WingTree Camellia linear switch is a full-travel, long-pole linear switch designed by Wuhai Studio and manufactured by Wingtree. The Camellia switch features an all-new mold that's developed based on the previous mold Wingtree Yuying Black switches used. After the mold design modifications, Camellia now sounds cleaner, less noisy, and more concentrated at the bottom out; The scratchy feel has also been improved, which is still grainy but much more refined. Each switch comes factory lubed, with a thin layer of Krytox 205g0 applied to the stem legs and sliders, while the spring and leaf are also lubricated to ensure a smooth, consistent feel right out of the box. FYI: If you are looking for maximum scratch, please choose the dry options which only comes with factory-lubed leaf and spring – Unikeys. | Akko Creamy Yellow U1 linear switches feature a new POM blend, 45g actuation force, reduced spring ping, smooth travel, and a satisfying low-pitched thock for custom mechanical keyboards. A newly engineered POM material improves the switch's natural self-lubricating properties, delivering a smoother and more refined typing experience. Our 100-piece switch jar packs your entire build into one compact, clear canister that's easy to carry, easy to store, and impossible to ignore on your desk – Akko EU. |
