Comments on Keebz N Cables x BSUN Taro N Sweet Potato switches | Comments on Gateron Cream Soda switches |
After releasing two tactiles, we thought it's time to show linears some love. So.. enter the Taro N Sweet Potato, the 2nd switch in our Shaved Ice series. A switch inspired by the Taiwanese dessert of the same name that I first tried in Sydney back in 2010 (RIP Meet Fresh Perth). A bit about the switch, it's a long pole linear with a LY stem and bottom housing for a buttery smooth key press and a deeper and lower pitched sound profile from the POK stem – Keebz N Cables. | A long pole linear, with an Ink Bottom housing, Milky Top housing, and a long pole Gateron stem. Designed by Punkshoo to bring you back to the time of the ‘50s and ‘60s, a simpler time – SerpentKeys. “It’s a hot summer day in July of 1952, you just finished your weekend yard chores and Pops tossed you a couple quarters. It’s time to head on down to the soda fountain in town to meet up with some good friends, grab a bite, and an ice-cold treat. Nothing beats the summer blues like great times and good eats.” - Punkshoo. Cream Sodas are a super smooth linear with a fantastic long pole bottom out. They started life as the Cthulhu Frankenswitch, and are now a complete package thanks to Gateron and Punkshoo. The switches feature a Milky Top, Ink V2 bottom and long-pole nylon stem - a smooth and marbly treat, just like its namesake – RNDKBD. |
