KTT Hyacinth switches are now one of our personal favourite long pole linears that we stock! They offer a mid toned sound profile with a nice bright upstroke with quite a creamy sound signature with moderate to loud volume! Even with all of the HMX switches out there, our resident switch expert Rassles always find myself putting these back in one of my personal boards to use time and time again – Keebz N Cables. | No comments on HMX Lulu Silent switches. |
