Innovative Stem Design

At the heart of the Caramel Linear Edition is the modified UPE stem. This material is relatively new to HMX and has been engineered to enhance strength and durability. Unlike traditional UPE, this modified version is less prone to breakage and offers a unique sound profile. While it may not produce the deep tones of pure UPE stems, it delivers a distinct thocky sound that stands out among other HMX switches.

Enhanced Sound and Feel

The combination of the modified UPE stem and PA66 bottom housing aims to create a deep and resonant sound profile. Although it may not match the depth of some renowned deep switches like the Vertex V1s, it provides a satisfying auditory experience that is both deep and thocky compared to other HMX offerings.

Factory Lubrication

To ensure optimal performance right out of the box, the Caramel Linear Edition comes factory-lubed.

This meticulous lubrication process ensures a smooth and consistent keystroke with minimal friction.
