Isn't this the cutest switch you have seen? The adorable light diffuser was designed by Rena Lab and custom-made by HMX. It is recommended to use a transparent keycap set with these switches, as you will see these little toasts shine up one by one on your keyboard – Unikeys. | The legendary switch crowned by the custom community as the "Ceiling of HMX Deep Thock" has evolved. Designed by Lucky Pudding and crafted by HMX, the Caramel Pudding V2 introduces the world-first "Waffle Stem Tip" architecture. Paired with a hardened H1 stem and a fiberglass-infused P4 base, it annihilates high-pitch clacks to forge an immaculate, deep "Creamy Thock"—without ever feeling mushy. Enhanced by HMX's 3rd-Gen precision factory lube and a bouncy 22 mm extended spring, this is the most addictively buttery, acoustic masterpiece for your endgame board – Diykey. |
