Comments on XCJZ x JKDK Butterfly switches
With the Butterfly Silent Linear Switch, Outemu partners with renowned designer XCJZ to deliver an elegant, near-silent switch that embodies both beauty and technical prowess. This XCJZ x JKDK Butterfly silent linear switch brings a unique typing experience as delicate as the wings of a butterfly. XCJZ, celebrated for designs like the Moyu Studio x XCJZ Snow Grape and the LICHICX Lucy switches, is known for balancing unique tactile feedback with refined aesthetics. The Butterfly switch, developed in collaboration with JKDK, captures this legacy, providing a typing feel that incorporates a gentle scratch sound profile, reminiscent of premium switches like Cherry Oranges and Nixies, adding a subtle, comforting feedback to each keystroke. With an actuation force of 37g ± 5g and a total travel of 3.7mm, the Butterfly switch offers a smooth, low-resistance experience ideal for silent environments. The pink dustproof stem, crafted from lengthened POM with TPU soft plastic, minimizes sound both on the downstroke and upstroke. Complemented by an opaque white top housing and muted grey bottom, this switch maintains a minimalist, tranquil aesthetic. Factory-lubed and equipped with a 20mm spring, each keystroke flows quietly and effortlessly, making it perfect for those who value a silent yet satisfying typing experience – thoccexchange.
