Comments on Keebz N Cables Ice Kachang V2 switches | Comments on Gateron Weightlessness 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. | KeysMe is partnering with Gateron to launch the exclusive Weightlessness switches and bring them to the mechanical switch market. Comes with factory pre-lubed, it is designed with eye catching color to perform a new level of smoothness in each keystroke and significantly wobble less than a regular mechanical switch. With a tactile design, carefully selected components, and a light-to-moderate 50 grams of required force, these little typing cubes make each actuation melt right into the keyboard – Gateron. |
