Comments on XY Studio BSUN Jade Rosale switches | Comments on Keygeek M1 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. | Keygeek's M1 switch is another unique addition to the Keygeek linear switch family. The reason is that M1 is manufactured using Keygeek's new stem mold, which consists of 7 smaller spheres on the stem tip. Comparing it to other classic stem tip designs that Keygeek has such as waffle stem tip (Y2 switch) or spherical stem tip (Y3 switch), the 7 spheres stem tip comes with a firmer and more solid bottom out feel. Sound wise, the 7 spheres stem tip creates a loud and thocky sound profile for the M1 switches, which is also quite different from the spherical stem tip and waffle stem tip which are designed for a quieter and deeper bottom sound – Unikeys. |
