Comments on HMX x 80 Retros FJ400 switches

The switch color scheme is inspired by the Fuji 400 film roll. Compared to traditional HMX clicky switches, this switch has a more thocky sound. It features an HMX T2 material stem, P2 material bottom housing, and a PC material top housing that dampens the sound. With a total travel of 3.8mm, the sound is quieter compared to the 3.5mm travel switches – Deskhero.
