C3Equalz x TKC Banana Split/Macho

Manufacturer: JWK
Brand: C³Equalz

These switches were originally released by C3Equalz as their “Macho Switches” in early 2020. They were re-introduced as TKC’s “Banana Split Switches” in September of 2020 in the US market, starting their “Snack Time Switch Line”. TKC’s 3PM drop was mildly successful, selling out in a few hours. The 9PM drop, however, was still in stock 12 hours later, at 9AM.
