Comments on HMX Cosmic Purple switches | Comments on HMX Lunar Stone switches |
The HMX Cosmic Purple linear switches are manufactured using HMX's brand new full POM housing mold. It is the first HMX switch that comes with a full POM housing. Full POM housing with LY stem is not rare to see in this hobby but HMX makes it distinct; Most POM housing and Ly stem switches, such as BSUN Aniya and BSUN Dusty Rose, are deep and thocky sounding. That's not the case with Cosmic Purple; Thanks to HMX's molding design and unique LY blend, Cosmic Purple switches are super clacky and higher pitched. The POM housing widens the sound spectrum and makes them sound full and vibrant at the same time. We also left a bit of audible scratch to these switches if that's what you like – Unikeys. | The HMX Lunar Stone linear switches are manufactured using HMX's brand-new full POM housing mold. It is the first full POM HMX switch. As the first full POM HMX switch, we expected it to sound and feel a bit different from other HMX switches in the market. They have proven to be quite unique; They sound fuller and thockier than most HMX switches yet still come with the bassy bottom-out sound. The travel feels very smooth yet there is audible scratch since that's what most people love about full POM switches – Unikeys. |
