Comments on Gateron Snow Rabbit switches | Comments on HMX Lunar Stone switches |
It's like a blend of Gateron RAW, Smoothie, and NK Creams. Made with Gateron's latest mold, it's all POM, so it's super smooth and has a 4mm travel. Acid&Co. fixed the overlubing issue for an even smoother feel, no extra work needed. The spring weight is between Gateron Red and Yellow, so it feels just right. And it's got a white housing that's perfect for showing off your keyboard's RGB lighting – KeebzNCables. | The HMX Lunar Stone linear switches are manufactured using HMX's brand-new full POM housing mold. It is the first full POM HMX switch. As the first full POM HMX switch, we expected it to sound and feel a bit different from other HMX switches in the market. They have proven to be quite unique; They sound fuller and thockier than most HMX switches yet still come with the bassy bottom-out sound. The travel feels very smooth yet there is audible scratch since that's what most people love about full POM switches – Unikeys. |
