Comments on HMX Dirty Pink switches | Comments on HMX Lulu Silent switches |
A creamy, thocky linear for anyone who prefers a calm, rounded sound over aggressive clack. The carefully tuned material combination – HMX's H2 blend, PA12 top and PA66 bottom – delivers a deeper, softer sound profile with a pleasantly muted bottom-out and a smooth, controlled keypress. Built using HMX's new L3 mold for tighter tolerances and minimal stem wobble. Factory-lubed with 205g0 on the stem legs and sliders – a refined creamy linear for builds aiming at a soft, deep sound signature – MonacoKeys. | No comments on HMX Lulu Silent switches. |
