Comments on HMX DuckDuck (Sunset Gleam) switches | Comments on MMD Princess Linear Ultra switches |
Bottom Housing of DuckDuck is a mix of PA66 and fiberglass. It provides a unique bottom-out sound compared to other switches. It has been renamed from Sunset Gleam to DuckDuck. Designed by Knock Knock Studio. Factory lubed with 205g0 and 105g0. | The MMD Princess Ultra Thock switches are the latest variant of the MMD Princess Series and were specially designed and manufactured for the Bridge75 keyboard. As usual with MMD Princess, the switches type very well and have an even deeper sound than the Princess V4 – Monacokeys. Produced by the latest mold, the new Princess Ultra switch offers smoother and more consistent typing feedback. We've also improved the factory lubrication and bottom material, elevating the "thock" sound profile to a new level – qwertyqop. |
