Comments on XY Studio BSUN Jade Rosale switches | Comments on Keygeek Explosion 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 Keygeek Explosion switch was designed by Awareness Club, the same designer of Keygeek Higanbana switches. As hinted by the name, there was only one goal behind Explosion: it needed to be the most clacky Keygeek switch by far. In order to achieve that, an M4 strengthened POM stem and a N1 nylon bottom housing were chosen for it. Both of these materials are Keygeek's new blends, and they create a clacky, loud, and high-pitched bottom-out sound. With an improved housing mold like the Cera switches, the Explosion switches come with a perfectly balanced typing feel and a satisfying sound signature that many sought after – Unikeys. |
