Comments on Keylist Kitty switches
The Kitty linear switch designed by Keylist Studio features a cute kittycat paw light diffuser on the top housing. With transparent keycaps on and RGB underglow, the kittypaws light up and look very adorable. Material-wise, Kitty switches come with an HPE stem and PA66 bottom housing for a thocky and relatively deep sound profile. The HPE stem also ensures each keystroke is smooth and clean – Unikeys.
