Comments on HMX Yogurt V2 switches
The Yogurt V2 linear switch is the newest version of the HMX Yogurt switch designed by XLLAB. The major change this time is that the Yogurt V2 switch comes with HMX's brand new top housing with improved smoothness and a light diffuser installed. Other than that, the Yogurt V2 switch kept everything else that's original to the V1. The P5 bottom housing Yogurt switches use a modified nylon with 40-45% fiberglass added. It is a new nylon blend from HMX and by far the material with the most fiberglass added. What it does to the switches is make them sound super loud, clacky, and full-sounding – Unikeys.
