Compared To Other Keyboard Switches

Durock Sunflower/POM T1

Durock T1 and Durock Sunflower/POM T1 are similar tactile switches with a strong bump and short pre-travel. Both switches have similar smoothness out of the box, but the Sunflower/POM T1 switches have housings made of POM plastic, which means they do get a bit smoother as you break them in, even without home lubing.
