Comments on Keebz N Cables x BSUN Taro N Sweet Potato switches
After releasing two tactiles, we thought it's time to show linears some love. So.. enter the Taro N Sweet Potato, the 2nd switch in our Shaved Ice series. A switch inspired by the Taiwanese dessert of the same name that I first tried in Sydney back in 2010 (RIP Meet Fresh Perth).
A bit about the switch, it's a long pole linear with a LY stem and bottom housing for a buttery smooth key press and a deeper and lower pitched sound profile from the POK stem – Keebz N Cables.
