Comments on HMX Puppy switches | Comments on BSUN Hutt switches |
A strong, well-tuned tactile with a warmer character. The bump is pronounced, but cleanly guided and not scratchy. Sound-wise, it leans more deep and thocky, setting it apart from many brighter HMX switches. A strong choice for anyone who wants noticeable feedback paired with a fuller, more pleasant sound – MonacoKeys. | XY Studio clearly doesn't want to let the legend of the Holy Panda switch to die out. That is why they decided to work with BSUN/YOK to create another "masterpiece" of a tactile switch. Inspired by the Hutt Lagoon in Australia, the Hutt switch is on full pink mode. They come with specially picked 20.5mm single-stage palladium coated spring which eliminates the spring crunch to its best extent. Also, the spring itself has a very unique 40gf actuation point and a 49gf bottom-out point which categorizes the switch as light tactile while ensuring a snappy and responsive top out. Lastly, the material choice makes sure the switch's sound is very balanced. It is neither super loud nor muted. You can clearly hear the tactile bump and enjoy a bit of thockiness the bottom-out brings – SerpentKeys. |
