@@keebscape for sure, seems like since the Zakus released and we’ve entered the Bsun/KTT/HMX etc. era, very few new 4mm travel switches have been released.
Feel like a lot of companies were struggling to not sound thin/quiet in 4mm variants for the longest time. It will sort of take someone cracking a composition code that helps with sound without pole bottom out.
@@livprimeI suspect that some of that is related to the 1.2mm flexcut PCB trend making many a decent switch sound underwhelming without some sort of foam. I think a 1.6mm PCB with no flexcuts can sound great with many 4 mm travel switches (including plenty of older switches) in a decent board. Perhaps the rise of flexcut PCBs has fed into the popularity of long pole switches.
@@ImOnMy116 definitely adds to it. I just think of all the 4mm jwk recolors for those few years or gat yellows that can be very quiet compared to something like a cherry black or a long pole switch. I was on a HUNT back then to find a switch that didn’t sound thin

Named after the popular dessert in Malaysia....Cendol.
no, cendol is from INDONESIA
All I can say is that if the market were to move back to there being more 4 mm travel (or close to) switches available, I’d be a very happy man!
@@ImOnMy116 I feel you on that! Long poles have become the overwhelming majority of new switch releases

Great video my dude.
Great review.
Agreed, pretty good switch!
Fire video!
Damn, that sounds like a switch!
