Comments on WingTree Camellia switches | Comments on Keygeek Little Elf 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. | The Keygeek Little Elf switch features a deep and thocky sound profile. The little elf is the deepest sounding among the Keygeek switches that come with the 7-sphere stem tip. Not only because of the unique stem design, but also because its stem and bottom housing are made of soft materials such as U5 and PA12, which dampen the overall volume and pitch. If you are looking for a deep and thocky sounding linear switch, these are the one – Unikeys. |
