HMX
Hmx Aster





The HMX Aster is a linear switch built on the HMX Cheese platform, using the same 3.6mm LY stem, PA12 top housing, and PA-2 bottom housing for a familiar signature sound. Its factory lubing is significantly improved over the Cheese, reducing unwanted noise while keeping a crisp, responsive feel. The result is a clean, clacky, loud sound profile combined with exceptional smoothness and no sluggish or over-lubed feel.
