Comments on Keygeek Cyan switches
The very special thing about the Keygeek Cyan switches is that both the top and bottom housing come polished out of factory. Not only the exteriors are polished, more importantly, the interior of the housing and the bottom housing rails are also polished. The reason to do such a thing is to decrease the overall surface friction, and they won't rely on factory lubing too much to ensure its smoothness – Unikeys.
