Comments on Tecsee Zaku switches | Comments on Invokeys Black Sesame V2 switches |
The name and colorway is inspired off the Gundam Suit MS-06R-1A Zaku II piloted by Shin Matsunaga which is one of Bolsa's favorite Gunpla models. | Inspired by black sesame desserts, the Black Sesame switches are the third member of our Artisanal Switch series. As part of our continued effort with Aflion to make the best out-of-the box switches, the Black Sesames are hand-lubed from the factory. As the second linear in our line-up, we started with a lengthened spring to provide a snappier feedback, but kept the lighter spring weight that we love and prefer. The dustproof stem provides nearly no stem wobble throughout its travel, producing a balanced, deep, and pronounced sound – Invokeys. |
