The HMX Crisp linear switch features HMX's newest stem and housing molds; Its POM stem and PA12 top housing ensures a smooth typing experience while the POM bottom housing creates a clacky and solid overall sound profile. Great news for those who love keyboards that shine, the Crisp switch comes with HMX's newest light diffusers for better RGB performance – Unikeys. | XLLAB designed the HMX Yogurt switch, which HMX manufactures using its newest stem and bottom housing mold. The P5 bottom housing Yogurt switches use a modified nylon with 40-45% fiberglass added. It is a new nylon blend from HMX and by far the material with the most fiberglass added. What it does to the switches is make them sound super loud, clacky, and full-sounding. With the help of the new stem and bottom housing mold, Yogurt switches come with smooth keystrokes and minimum stem wobble – Unikeys. |
