Comments on Wuhai Jelly Purple switches | Comments on XCJZ X WEKT Lucy R5 switches |
No comments on Wuhai Jelly Purple switches. | The wait is finally over, we bring to you Lucy R5… the latest iteration of the most popular silent linear in history for feeling the closest to a non-silent switch. LICHICX the manufacturer of Lucy went bankrupt, so XCJZ has been working closely with WEKT to create R5 with no compromises unless you love RGB diffusers – KeebzNCables. The WEKT Lucy R5 silent switch is the successor to the Lichicx Lucy silent switch series. Similar to the Lichicx silent switches, Lucy R5's still uses the triple shot method to mold the TPU silencing gel into the interior of the stem. Such a silencing mechanism makes sure the switch is quiet enough but not mushy at bottom out – Unikeys. |
