Frequently asked
How loud is the Cheese V2?
Loud and proud. It is one of the clackier linears around — a bright, sharp sound is the whole reason people reach for it.
What changed in V2?
V2 is now manufactured by Keygeek. The loud, clacky character carries over; the change is in who builds it, not in the sound signature people love.
What weights are there?
A 40g version that bottoms out at 45g and a 48g version that bottoms out at 53g, both on a 21mm single-stage Japanese-wire spring.
