Comments on YG Studio x HMX Canglan V2 switches
The Canglan V2 switches could be the first ever thocky HMX switches. Of course, thocky and clacky are just subjective perceptions of individuals, but if you compare them with other HMX linear switches out there, you will notice the difference. All thanks to the material composition of the stem, the Canglan V2 switches get to sound deeper. However, I never said these switches are quiet… – unikeys.
