Comments on LICHICX XCJZ / JKDK Crimson Red Silent switches
XCJZ Crimson Red is a new silent tactile that utilises LICHICX’s unique silencing mechanism. It is essentially the silent tactile equivalent of XCJZ Lucy, the current meta for silent linear for it’s minimal mushiness on bottom out. There’s still some mushiness present, but it is still far better than some of its predecessors in the silent switch category – KeebzNCables.
