Comments on BSUN | HC Studio Roselle switches | Comments on Keygeek x Sharkeys Pomkin 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. | Keygeek Pomkin switches are Keygeek's first full POM linear switch. Similar to most well-known full POM switches, Pomkin also comes with that classic full and thocky sound signature. With the help of the new top housing mold design, they feel smoother than most full POM switches, but the highly sought-after scratchy sound is still present when you listen to them right next to your ears – unikeys. |
