Comments on XY Studio BSUN Jade Rosale switches | Comments on HMX Taro Ball switches |
XY Studio/BSUN Jade Rosales switches are made to be smooth, deep-sounding, reliable, and pretty. The stem is made of Y3X in a brand-new mold. Y3X is an advanced UPE blend with enhanced smoothness and clean sound. The top and bottom housing are made with customized molds for better smoothness and refined top-out and bottom-out sound. Jade Rosales are factory lubed with brand new formulated lube and new lubing machines which BSUN recently acquired. The leaf used on Jade Rosales switches is made with palladium gold alloy to improve its durability. XY Studio also adjusted the leaf spring angle so it would actuate precisely with no leaf noise. | The HMX Taro Ball linear switch is XLLAB's newest design. It has an H2 modified UPE stem with a small spherical stem tip. Compared to switches that come with a big spherical stem tip, such as Canglan V3 or Sprite switches, the smaller spherical tip further solidifies the sound signature. The housing is made of PA12 and P2, the same as the Cheese and Sugar Rush switches. They work with the new H2 stem to create a thockier but still very loud bottom-out sound – Unikeys. |
