I received my Sunsets from lowprokb.ca last night and managed to install them in my ZSA Voyager today.
First impressions… these switches are LOVELY to type on. The original browns I ordered with my Voyager felt heavy, and tiring after longer sessions - not to knock on Browns, everyone has a different experience… but I am very happy with my purchase.
Unscientifically, I would say they are quieter. To my mind they require less activation force and thus are much “faster” to type on; I bottom out less. YMMV, but I will say from real-world use they are still pretty loud when you’re in a meeting room capturing notes and transcribing. I’m planning to order the new Sunrise and Twilight switches when they become available as my Voyager is a joy to type on and very travel-friendly.
Yes sunsets are definitely my favorites as far as chocs go. Currently using a mostly Mx board but a few of the thumb switches are sunset chocs.
If I had to nit pick they are a little scratchy and having the tactile feel closer to the actual switch activation would be nice. But it’s not like there is the wealth of options that exist on the mx side.
They are undeniably my favorite for now. I’m hoping for a Pink + Sunset combo switch, the tactile feel of a sunset with the mind to finger responsiveness of the pink switches.
