Post by: TheNajin on Wed, 27 September 2023, 21:17:23
Hi, this is FOD (Four of Diamonds) (https://www.instagram.com/fodlabs/), a new player in the custom keyboard industry. I'm Zef.

We're thrilled to introduce our very first switch product in collaboration with Angry Miao —— the AM Icy Silver Pro Switches.

The Y3 Stem

The material of the stem is a game-changer when it comes to the smoothness of a switch. For this switch, we've introduced an innovative Y3 material solution with an ultra-low friction coefficient of just 0.04. To put it in perspective, the usual stem materials on the market tend to hover between 0.07 and 1.2 in terms of friction.

Once again, we'd like to express our gratitude to Angry Miao for everything. Together, we've put a great deal of effort into adjusting the switch stem, customizing spring specifications, and optimizing the factory lubrication process, resulting in an exceptional product.

If you've got any questions or thoughts, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Thanks for being a part of this journey.

The AM Icy Silver Pro switches, tailor-made for the AM brand, will be exclusively available through AM's sales channels.
