Comments on XY Studio BSUN Jade Rosale switches | Comments on Unikeys x BSUN Udon 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 Unikeys Udon linear switch is our attempt at trying to create a clacky BSUN switch that is not thin-sounding. The stem material, Y3X, is the same as the Jade Rosales switches; It can be considered an improved LY or Y3 material, and Y3X is slightly softer than LY but much smoother than both LY and Y3. We chose to pair it with a modified PA66 bottom housing to create a full but clacky-sounding bottom out. The PC top housing gives them a clean and sharp top-out sound. Overall, these will be one of the more clacky new BSUN switches in our collection. In order to prevent the lube pooling issues, we chose to only lube the stem sliders and legs with a very thin coat of 205g0. Springs are lubed with dry film – Unikeys. |
