Comments on HMX Yogurt S switches | Comments on HMX Cloud (42g) switches |
HMX Yogurt S is here! Designed as a sharper, more aggressive evolution of the Yogurt series, it delivers the most clacky sound HMX has ever produced — noticeably brighter and louder than the Yogurt V2. Featuring a hardened modified POM stem and thickened P7 bottom housing with the highest fiberglass content to date – SerpentKeys. HMX Yogurt S Switches are linear switches that feature HMX's new P7 material which is HMX's stiffest material with a high fiberglass percentage. Together with the hardened POM stem, it produces a high-pitched and crisp sound profile – Divinikey. | "Total Travel: 3.9±0.3mm (Around 3.7mm in real life)" |
