Comments on HMX Lunar Stone switches | Comments on HMX Crisp switches |
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. | 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. |
