What are the Invokeys Black Sesame Switches?

Inspired by black sesame desserts, the Black Sesame switches are the third member of Invokey's Artisanal Switch series. As part of their continued effort with Aflion to make the best out-of-the box switches, the Black Sesames also utilize the latest lubrication process where stems are lubricated by hand, and springs are donut-dipped and metal leaf contacts are greased by machine.

As the second linear in the lineup, we started with a lengthened spring to provide a snappier feedback, but kept the lighter spring weight that we love and prefer. The dustproof stem comes with a thick stem pole that offers a softened, less harsh bottom out, leading to a fuller deep sound.

Invokey's Design Influences - Why Black Sesame?

From black sesame ice cream to black sesame buns to black sesame sweet rice balls, black sesame is such a unique ingredient that provides a rich, nutty flavor, as well as a beautiful, dark charcoal-grey color. If you've never had a black sesame dessert, you're missing out!
