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.
Now about the switch... it's a long pole medium tactile with a rounded bump with minimal pre-travel. It comes with two options, hand lubed from factory for the cbf crowd like myself and unlubed for enthusiasts with trust issues.
We went through two rounds of prototyping and took on feedback from the community before we were comfortable releasing something that can make #tactilegang proud. Shout outs to sugar_kb for being my guinea pig, Truly Chewyie Cables for the colour matching and clickpig for giving his tactile blessing.
What's new with V2?
- 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.
