Comments on Tecsee Zaku switches | Comments on JWK Ultimate Black 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. | JWICK Black Linear are serious contenders to the Gateron Oil Kings for a fraction of the price. The factory lubing job has been done incredibly well and most people will be satisfied with the stock experience. Compared to the Oil Kings the JWICKs have a sly deeper clack which makes the switch sound a little more quiet in comparison. Comes in two different weights 58.8g / 63.5g bottom out – beaverkeys. |
