Comments on Wuque Studio WS Morandi switches | Comments on HMX Lunar Stone switches |
The Morandi linear switches by Wuque Studio feature factory lube and per-switch removable light diffusers (PMMA). Wuque WS Morandi Switches are linear switches with a full POM housing and UPE stem. The switch bottoms out on the stem pole which gives off an unexpectedly deep sound signature when taking into account its POM housing material – Chosfox. | The HMX Lunar Stone linear switches are manufactured using HMX's brand-new full POM housing mold. It is the first full POM HMX switch. As the first full POM HMX switch, we expected it to sound and feel a bit different from other HMX switches in the market. They have proven to be quite unique; They sound fuller and thockier than most HMX switches yet still come with the bassy bottom-out sound. The travel feels very smooth yet there is audible scratch since that's what most people love about full POM switches – Unikeys. |
