Comments on XY Studio BSUN Jade Rosale switches | Comments on HMX | Sillyworks Hyacinth V2 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 Hyacinth V1 switch was already a great success, but Sillyworks always strive to reach a higher limit. After almost two years since they released the Hyacinth V1, the V2 version is finally here. Compared to Hyacinth V1, the V2 version had a lot of upgrades and changes; Firstly, the manufacture of the V2 was changed from KTT to HMX. HMX is able to mold more precisely to create more consistent stem length and housing tolerance. If you have used other HMX switches such as the Macaron or Macchiato, you will understand what their molds are like: The stem and housing tolerance is super high as the stem sits super stable in the housing. There is super minimal stem wobble as the housing really closes up on the stem. However, you will never feel that the housing is squishing the stem too tight to create bottom-out issues. That is how precise HMX's molds are. The V2 switches are smooth, tight, and great-sounding – Unikeys. |
