The legendary switch crowned by the custom community as the "Ceiling of HMX Deep Thock" has evolved. Designed by Lucky Pudding and crafted by HMX, the Caramel Pudding V2 introduces the world-first "Waffle Stem Tip" architecture. Paired with a hardened H1 stem and a fiberglass-infused P4 base, it annihilates high-pitch clacks to forge an immaculate, deep "Creamy Thock"—without ever feeling mushy. Enhanced by HMX's 3rd-Gen precision factory lube and a bouncy 22 mm extended spring, this is the most addictively buttery, acoustic masterpiece for your endgame board – Diykey. | The HMX Caramel Pudding switches feature a unique modified UPE stem. Unlike traditional UPE, this version has been enhanced by HMX to improve its strength and durability, making it less soft and less prone to breaking. Paired with a PA66 bottom housing and PA12 top housing, it offers a deeper sound compared to other HMX switches – SerpentKeys. |
