Comments on KEYGEEK X UNIKEYS PURPLE DAWN switches | Comments on Keygeek Guns N Roses switches |
The Keygeek X Unikeys Purple Dawn switch is manufactured by Keygeek using the newest housing and stem molds which ensure reduced stem wobble, solid and clean bottom-out sound and feel, and subtle top-out sound. Unlike the older generation of Keygeek MX style switches, the current ones no longer sound "noisy" – unikeyboards.com. | Guns N Roses is the first non-cheese themed switch by Keys in Cheese studio. The name and colourway is a tribute to one of her favourite rock bands from the 80s. This switch has a kinda deep/thocky and kinda clacky sound profile unlike Blue Cheese V2 which is the current thock king. They've achieved this by using the same materials as Blue Cheese V2, except adding metal powder into the L4 stem blend to make it clack a little – Keebzandcables. |
