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. | HMX Yogurt S is here! Designed as a sharper, more aggressive evolution of the Yogurt series, it delivers the most clacky sound HMX has ever produced — noticeably brighter and louder than the Yogurt V2. Featuring a hardened modified POM stem and thickened P7 bottom housing with the highest fiberglass content to date – SerpentKeys. HMX Yogurt S Switches are linear switches that feature HMX's new P7 material which is HMX's stiffest material with a high fiberglass percentage. Together with the hardened POM stem, it produces a high-pitched and crisp sound profile – Divinikey. |
