Comments on XCJZ x KTT Ice Orange switches
Well, we thought we wouldn't see a resurgence of XCJZ, but turns out retirement doesn't last long if you design some of the best silent switches in the world. Using XCJZ's latest moulds to make this silent linear in partnership with KTT, this is the Ice Orange. Smooth, slight scratch silent linear with no mushiness at all. Really pleasant and mid weight unlike a lot of silent linears which lean to the lighter side of the weight spectrum. Nicely done XCJZ and welcome back! – Thocc Exchange.
