Comments on LICHICX XCJZ / JKDK Crimson Red Silent switches | Comments on Duhuk Lumia Bitter Tea V2 switches |
XCJZ Crimson Red is a new silent tactile that utilises LICHICX’s unique silencing mechanism. It is essentially the silent tactile equivalent of XCJZ Lucy, the current meta for silent linear for it’s minimal mushiness on bottom out. There’s still some mushiness present, but it is still far better than some of its predecessors in the silent switch category – KeebzNCables. | This is the newest generation of Duhuk Lumia Bitter Tea switches. In this version, the molds have been updated for better tolerances and the travel has been reduced to 3mm for an even sharper tactile feeling – MonacoKeys. |
