Comments on HMX x EILAB West Cowboy switches
The HMX x EILAB West Cowboy Linear Switch offers an ultra-smooth typing experience with a rich, deep thocky sound. Designed with HMX’s latest mold adjustments, this switch maintains a wobble-free feel while eliminating any potential stickiness at the top of the keypress. The West Cowboy ensures a consistently smooth and satisfying feel, making it a top choice for enthusiasts seeking both performance and sound. The HMX x EILAB West Cowboy Linear Switch delivers a deep and creamy bottom-out with a soft yet poppy top-out. Compared to the HMX Hibiscus and HMX Caramel Pudding switches, which were already known for their lower-pitched sound profiles, the West Cowboy takes it even further with an even deeper pitch and fuller bottom-out sound. Traditionally, HMX switches were recognized for their high-pitched and clacky sound profiles. However, the HMX x EILAB West Cowboy is part of a new generation of HMX switches, designed with updated molds and materials to achieve a thocky, full-bodied sound. If you’ve been searching for an HMX switch that truly delivers on depth, richness, and thock, the West Cowboy is the perfect choice – Lume Keebs.
