Description
If you are not familiar with our switches, please read our switches introduction carefully: Typing Characteristics: Gamakay Phoenix The Gamakay Phoenix switch has the lightest actuation and end force among the three. It features a yellow box type stem sandwiched between a clear top and a bright red bottom housing. Stem wobble was minimal and the bottom of the stem was dampened to cancel out the bottom-out noise. Marketed as a silent linear switch, the Gamakay Phoenix is perfect for office use and you can manage to daily drive this without disturbing your colleagues at work.As the bottom of the stem is dampened, bottoming out feels rather squishy and “thock-less”. There is very little bottom out noise and spring rebound noise. Phoenix Switch-Specification Behavior Linear Travel Distance 3.30mm Pre-travel 2.00±0.6mm Actuation Force 40±10gf Min trigger Force 35gf Min End Force 45gf Max Typing Characteristics: Gamakay Crystal As the name suggests, the Gamakay Crystal is completely transparent, safe for the spring and pins. Please choose it, if you love the clear design especially on an RGB keyboard as light refracts off each switch, illuminating the entire board. There is slightly more stem wobble compared to the Phoenix but overall it is still a solid performer in this regard. You don't need to worry that the clear material would have a "clacky" sound, the switch sound is deep and pleasant. Relubing the switches and stem might improve the overall smoothness. Nevertheless, the resulting “thock” is satisfying to hear without being too loud. Crystal Switch-Specification Behavior Linear Travel Distance 4.0mm Pre-travel 2.00±0.6mm Actuation Force 45±10gf Min trigger Force 30gf Min End Force 65gf Max Typing Characteristics: Gamakay Bumblebee The Gamakay Bumblebee houses a grey box-shaped stem between a clear top and yellow bottom housing. Stem wobble is the most apparent of the three but still pretty good. The Bumblebee is smooth with the least amount of pre-travel. It is the heaviest of the bunch and it does feel like so, albeit in a more linear fashion. This is one of the fastest switches and is ideal for gaming. Each downstroke feels consistent with a smooth increase in tension, followed by a deep, crisp bottom out “thock”.
