Comments on Durock Sea Glass switches | Comments on Keygeek VC switches |
Durock Sea Glass Switches are multi-colored switches which resemble vibrant sea glass found on beaches. Utilizing Durock's blend of nylon and UPE, these switches are smooth especially when paired with their updated P3+ stem – divinikey. The Sea Glass Series are one of the smoothest stock linears with Polymer Nylon & UPE Blend Housing and P3+ stem. High-precision molds to minimize housing and stem wobble. Specially made 62g spring for soft typing and noise reduction. Lubricated with the latest advanced lubricant application. These switches will come in a random mixture of 5 pastel sea glass colors – beaverkeys. | The Keygeek VC linear switch is PicnicWorks' new creation. This is the first Keygeek switch that uses U4+ stem and POM bottom housing at the same time; The U4+ stem supposedly would create a solid, clean, and clacky bottom out sound, but the POM bottom housing dials things down a little bit and makes the overall sound signature fuller and poppier. Paired with the PA66 top housing, the Keygeek VC switch feels smooth and sounds crispy and clean – Unikeys. |
