Comments on Keebz N Cables x HMX Ice Cendol switches | Comments on Tbcats Studio Cloud Water V2 linear switches |
The Ice Cendol is the latest switch in our Shaved Ice series inspired by a childhood favourite dessert thanks to all the Malaysians and Singaporean in Perth. It’s been a long way to get here, originally planned to be manufactured by Keygeek, we weren’t happy with the sound profile and the appearance of the transparent nylon top housing… so Mr Keebz enlisted Rassles our Kiwi Staff Member to help design the new Ice Cendol and we got working with the most hyped manu in 2024 HMX to create a unique material combination to create something that some have described as MX Black-ish without the scratch-ish – KeebzNCables. | The Tbcats Cloud Water linear (blue stem) & tactile (white stem) switches from Tbcats are very smooth out of the box and do not require further lubrication for use (they are pre lubed as of Version 2) – Kinetic Labs. |
