How heavy is the tactile bump on the Banana Smoothie Heavy?
It is a genuinely heavy tactile with a 60g actuation and a pronounced, rounded bump up top. It asks for a more deliberate keypress than a mid-weight tactile and rewards typists who like to feel the switch register clearly.
Why does it sound different from other full-POM switches?
Full-POM housings usually trend deep and muted, but the Banana Smoothie Heavy lands a little higher-pitched and sharper. You get the buttery smoothness POM is known for with a crisper top note than the family's typical signature.
Does it come factory lubed?
Yes, it ships lubed from the factory, which is a big part of why the stroke feels so smooth out of the box. Many users will be happy running it stock.
