Comments on BSUN Golden Apple switches
The BSUN Golden Apple switch is the first switch that uses the PEI material. PEI is a high-performance plastic known for its high-temperature resistance, mechanical strength, and electrical insulation properties. When used on a keyboard switch, it not only shows a beautiful golden color, but also provides a firm bottom-out feel and a thocky sound profile – Unikeys.
