It's a nice more pronounced bump than a vintage brown. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeoKqDNan4s">Watch the review and sound test →</a> </span> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"> <b>BadSeedTech</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: The dark prototype sample has a better (deeper) sound and not as much spring or leaf ping.</span> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"> <b>Choobies</b>: <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/videos/791304063?t=2120s"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Unboxing and thoughts on Twitch.</span></a><br> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Alexotos</strong>: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuITa4L3SCc&amp;start=1299">Hyperlapse Build ft.

There's a large variety of them that differ in how they feel and sound.<br></p> <p>When building custom keyboards, often switches need to be soldered to the PCB. Keyboard builds that don't require soldering switches are referred to as <em>hotswap—</em>installing and changing switches is as easy as inserting them and pulling them out (switch puller required!)</p> <p>These SP-Star switches are a <em>tactile</em> switch, which refers to the tactile "bump" that you feel when you press down on it. This is in contrast to a <em>linear</em> switch that goes down smoothly, or a <em>clicky</em> switch that has a bump as well as an audible click sound.</p> <p>Learn more in our <a href="https://keyboard.university/100-courses/switches-101-xnyng">Switches 101 article →</a></p>
