Ice Kachang V2 Tactile Switches (Hand Lubed or Unlubed)
- In stock, ready to ship
The Ice Kachang is the first switch in our Shaved Ice series and inspired by a childhood favourite dessert thanks to all the Malaysians and Singaporeans in Perth. For those who are familiar with the ice kachang/ais kacang, we hope the colourway is remiscent of some of the many elements you'd find in this amazing dessert.
- The lubed version of V1 was edging closer to over-lubed and also included the stem legs which reduced the tactility. We've asked and prayed to Aflion to go lighter on the lube application and avoid the stem legs.
- The 58g dual stage spring ran heavier than rated and felt more like a 63.5g spring, so we've switched it up to a 55g long spring for the feel the tactile gods intended without spring swapping.
- Top housing now says KEEBZ signifying that I've finally made it.
Switches are sold in packs of 10.

Customer Reviews
One of the best tactile on the market, for a decent price
Great for those who like a rounded tactile bump (not as harsh as u4ts) with minimum pre-travel and a deep bottom out sound. Noticeable spring crunch when unlubed, which can be easily be removed using 105g0.
I still prefer glorious pandas over the sound of these for preference however these are also very nice and provides more of a thock than a marble hit
I replaced the Gateron G Pro Linear switches on my Kechron Q1 V2 and the entire package now feels premium and sounds great. The switch has a distinct bump as you press down and requires more force than linear switches, which is perfect for what I need. They feel as smooth as linear switches. With linear switches, I tend to accidentally press down on the key when resting my finger on it. The new switches are also a bit louder than the linear ones. I highly recommend trying these out.
Tactile bump is rounded
no spring ping nor spring crunch
This is my first tactile switch experience aside from cherry mx browns and i must say, i love it. As it you can really feel the tactility, i recommend to use it on a proper gasket mounted keyboard (not gmmk pro) so that you won't feel the impact as much in your fingers.
