Comments on HMX Serene Green switches | Comments on YG Studio x HMX Canglan V2 switches |
HMX Serene Green switches come with HMX's newly developed POM bottom housing, and it is also the first HMX switch that utilizes POM as its housing material. The modified UPE stem and POM bottom housing create an even fuller and more bassy sound signature than other existing HMX switches. The bottom-out feel is still as solid and firm. They don't feel overly soft because the stem is made of UPE – unikeyboards.com. | The Canglan V2 switches could be the first ever thocky HMX switches. Of course, thocky and clacky are just subjective perceptions of individuals, but if you compare them with other HMX linear switches out there, you will notice the difference. All thanks to the material composition of the stem, the Canglan V2 switches get to sound deeper. However, I never said these switches are quiet… – unikeys. |
