Comments on Zuoce Litchi Milk switches | Comments on Sillyworks X HMX Waverider V2 switches |
The Litchi Milks aren't like Holy Pandas or Green Jackets. They're actually not like any other tactile I have used before. They have mid-high range tactility. The sound is very deep especially on a spacebar, with highly energetic feeling on actuation. They almost fizz under your fingers. The tactile event is very noticeable, but not overwhelming, short and round. They sound really nice. Gentler than the Wuque Browns, crisper than the cookies and cream. I was surprised at just how clean the sound profile was. There is no need to lubricate these by hand – Thocc Exchange. | The Waverider V2 tactile switch is the successor to the classic KTT Waverider tactile switch that was released back in 2023. The new Waverider V2 tactile switch is now manufactured by HMX using their super-popular tactile designs. They come with a P tactile bump and a slightly longer than usual 3.8mm travel distance. This design pays tribute to the V1, which also had a large P and close to D tactile bump and slightly longer travel. Overall, the Waverider V2 switches are clacky, crisp, and clean to type on – Unikeys. |
