With the MM switches, I’m not sure I understand the unique value of each type of plastic and how it interacts.
Things I know:
- Nylon housings usually sound deeper and a bit more quiet
- POM is a bit harder. Most of my POM switches have a somewhat deep but also firmer thock than Nylon
- UHMWPE is softer and slick. Super smooth but sometimes has issues with sizing due to shrinkage
- With POM you don’t want to mix a stem with a housing of the same material, which causes a stick-slip feel. (Do the other materials act this way?)
I don’t know much of what to expect from LY, P3 or UPE. I find it strange that the vendors don’t have any words to say about the properties of any of these materials.
Has anyone just gone crazy and bought them all to try them out?
