Comments on Keebz N Cables x BSUN Taro N Sweet Potato switches | Comments on HMX DuckDuck (Sunset Gleam) 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. | Bottom Housing of DuckDuck is a mix of PA66 and fiberglass. It provides a unique bottom-out sound compared to other switches. It has been renamed from Sunset Gleam to DuckDuck. Designed by Knock Knock Studio. Factory lubed with 205g0 and 105g0. |
