Comments on Akko Cream Yellow Pro V3 switches | Comments on HMX Yogurt V1 53g switches |
No comments on Akko Cream Yellow Pro V3 switches. | XLLAB designed the HMX Yogurt switch, which HMX manufactures using its newest stem and bottom housing mold. The P5 bottom housing Yogurt switches use a modified nylon with 40-45% fiberglass added. It is a new nylon blend from HMX and by far the material with the most fiberglass added. What it does to the switches is make them sound super loud, clacky, and full-sounding. With the help of the new stem and bottom housing mold, Yogurt switches come with smooth keystrokes and minimum stem wobble – Unikeys. |
