What customers say
Enthusiasts highly value the C³Equalz x TKC Kiwi Switches for their sharp and satisfyingly aggressive tactile bump, a standout feature in their price range. The vibrant green and yellow design is also a notable aesthetic plus. However, the core experience is significantly impacted by inconsistent factory lubrication, often leading to noticeable scratchiness out of the box. The consensus is clear: these switches require manual lubrication to reach their potential. Once properly serviced, users report exceptional smoothness and a deep sound profile. This necessary modification means the Kiwi switches are best suited for builders prepared to invest extra effort to unlock their top tier performance and excellent value.
