Comments on Keebz N Cables Ice Kachang V2 switches | Comments on Aflion Thunder Shadow switches |
The Ice Kachang is the first switch in our Shaved Ice series and inspired by a childhood favourite dessert thanks to all the Malaysians and Singaporeans in Perth. For those who are familiar with the ice kachang/ais kacang, we hope the colourway is remiscent of some of the many elements you'd find in this amazing dessert. Now about the switch… it's a long pole medium tactile with a rounded bump with minimal pre-travel. It comes with two options, hand lubed from factory for the cbf crowd like myself and unlubed for enthusiasts with trust issues – KeebzNCables. | It's been a while since we got a "Stock offering" from Aflion rather than a custom switch but this set of 4 switches is pretty nice. Thunder Shadow is the heavy tactile of the series with PC tops and Nylon bottoms, although the factory lube is doing some heavy lifting in lowering the pitch on these switches – switchoddities.com. |
