Comments on XCJZ Lucy Silent Linear V2 switches | Comments on HMX Sakura switches |
The XCJZ Lucy Silent Linear is based on the HAPE switch, however these utilise brand new housing molds, and an improved blend of materials – Serpentkeys. | The HMX Silent Sakura switch is the first silent HMX linear switch that I know of. According to Mage Studio, these switches come with a great balance between being quiet and having a great typing feel; They don't feel as mushy as most silent switches are, and the bottom-out is very comfy. They might not be the quietest silent switch, but they are one of the best silent switches to type on – Unikeys. |
