Superior Silent Switches? Invokeys Nightshade (LICHICX) review!

LICHICX silents have been highly recommended by the regulars over at the switchmodders discord channel, and I had to give them a try! While I"m not entirely sold on their superiority over the Haimu silents, they are an insanely smooth and silent switch with no squish! Check them out at the link below!
