HMX
Hmx Guava







This is HMX's first attempt at trying the HPE material. HPE is high-density polyethylene, and when used to make keyboard switches, they are one of the go-to stem materials if the goal is to create a deeper bottom-out sound. With the PA66 bottom housing (no fiberglass) and PA12 top housing, the Guava switch sounds deep overall, but the typing feel won't be soft. Factory Lubed: Yes! mixed GPL105&GPL205 on leaf spring, stem feet, and bottom housing rails.
