Comments on BSUN | HC Studio Roselle switches | Comments on Akko Creamy Yellow U1 switches |
The Roselle switches are a truly innovative switch manufactured by BSUN. One of the most obvious reasons is that it's stem is made from Y3, which is a brand new material. Due to the new Y3 material being used, the original molds and factory lubing technique BSUN had could not be applied to the Roselle switches. This led BSUN to create new molds and factory lubing techniques, specifically designed for this switch – SerpentKeys. | Akko Creamy Yellow U1 linear switches feature a new POM blend, 45g actuation force, reduced spring ping, smooth travel, and a satisfying low-pitched thock for custom mechanical keyboards. A newly engineered POM material improves the switch's natural self-lubricating properties, delivering a smoother and more refined typing experience. Our 100-piece switch jar packs your entire build into one compact, clear canister that's easy to carry, easy to store, and impossible to ignore on your desk – Akko EU. |
