Everglide Moyu Black / Dark Jade Tactile Switches

Overview

The Everglide Moyu Black / Dark Jade tactile switches, were originally known as Moyu Black switches but were rebranded as the Dark Jade when Drop took over the distribution of the switches from u/victor082 who had initially started the interest check for the Everglide Moyu Black / Dark Jade which had previously been sold in eastern markets. The Everglide Moyu Black / Dark Jade gained popularity through its comparisons to the Invyr Holy Panda, however the two switches have their own personalities and differences mainly in their tactile bumps.
