Product details
Unity
For those we lost...
and those still holding on...
Unity is the first release in our homegrown Impact Series. This is a line of switches created not just for performance, but for purpose. Each design in this series reflects a charitable cause through its materials, symbolism, and emotional intent. Every switch in the line-up will be absolutely top tier in performance.
Unity is about male suicide awareness.
It’s about men’s mental health.
It's about forming a movement to support them.
And it’s about what it means to keep going, especially when it feels impossible.
This project is deeply personal. I’m someone who has lived with suicidal thoughts, and survived through them after the passing of my wonderful mother, Jackie. And I know how powerful it is when someone simply sits beside you, without judgment, without fixing, just staying present in the dark. That’s what Unity stands for.
The switch itself carries symbolism:
- A red stem symbolising the male heart. Fragile, strong, human - worthy of support
- A semi-transparent housing to represent the pain we can’t always see in others
- A sturdy, silent tactile feel to reflect the quiet strength that often goes unnoticed in our men
- The packaging will contain a flyer with emotional support resources and 2 stickers for your laptop, bag or work space etc to show your support to any men in your life
This project has two core ambitions:
- To raise £2,500 for Andy’s Man Club, through a 50p donation from every pack sold. That money will help fund hundreds of real-life, free support sessions where men can connect, talk, and help each other stay alive. These workshops have real world impact and save many men from depression or PTSD related suicide.
- To start conversations through gifting, collecting, or simply displaying the packaging and accompanying materials. Whether you buy it for yourself or someone you care about, Unity is intended to remind us all to check in with our men.
A few people to thank:
- To every person placing an order or recommending our store. It helps me make the world a little better with projects like these
- Chen and Moyu Studios who have worked with Outemu and I to produce a world class silent tactile switch and facilitate the entire process
- My sister Ayla, my father Denzil, & my dear friends Lucy and Jack Castle - you sat in the dark with me
If you're wondering how to help (besides buying yourself a pack or two!):
- Please consider using the hashtag #unityswitch on social media, sharing this project (feel free to use the images)
- You can use our custom discord emote UNITY by collecting it from our server
- Send this link to a person in your life who cares about supporting our men / is a man needing support. The difference even a single share has is disproportionate, and maybe they trust you to open up
One switch won’t change the world, but this switch will contribute meaningfully to the saving of human life.

TLDR: You pay £3.50 a pack with 50p going to save lives, and receive a world leading Silent Tactile with customised packaging you can be proud to have in your keyboard.
This switch is essentially a heavily customised Outemu Silent Cream Yellow Pro
I started with this switch as it is our most popular silent tactile switch from Outemu and we have turned it into something I consider the best silent tactile on the market for a budget price. Key changes:
- PA66 housing materials paired with a POM stem. This is the current S tier silent switch combination of materials and results in material outperformance of the Yellow Pro in smoothness and silence
- 55g spring (5g heavier than the Yellow Pro) - which is significant in a tactile switch and causes it to feel fuller and more satisfying, especially for topre enjoyers
- Double stage spring gives a snappier, more responsive return compared to single-stage springs. The rapid shift in resistance helps provide a sense of feedback and crisp reset, especially noticeable in tactile switches. Again this is closer to topre for those who enjoy both technologies

WHAT ARE [GB], [PRE-ORDER]
What is a Group Buy? A Group Buy (GB) is a type of pre-order for a product before it has been manufactured. A GB is usually open for several weeks. At some point after the group buy end date, typically within a week, vendors place the order with the manufacturer.
What is a pre-order? The term "pre-order" is often used when referring to extra product ("Extras") purchased by Moyu.stuidio to sell after the group buy period has ended. This allows people who missed out on the group buy to have a chance at purchasing the product without being subject to exorbitant aftermarket pricing. To account for the opportunity cost of holding this extra inventory, Extras are typically priced higher than the group buy price. Moyu.stuidio also uses the pre-order terminology for items that have already been ordered and are in production or en route to the vendor.Shipping: In the case of group buys, once the group buy period ends, the product order is placed. Then, according to the estimated timeline, the products are manufactured and shipped Moyu.stuidio. Once we receive the products fulfillment will begin and you will be notified of your order being shipped.
