Comments on Keygeek Roxy switches
Clacky is no longer a good word to describe how high-pitched and loud these switches are. For the Keygeek switches that use the P bottom housing, including Roxy, of course, I personally prefer using the word "metallic" to describe their sound profile. The transparent PC top housing not just looks beautiful with glitter, but it also makes the switch feel super smooth overall. It also helps with the top-out sound by making it brighter – Unikeys.
