Product Description

Key Features

The Caramel Linear Edition boasts several standout features that make it a top choice for keyboard enthusiasts. Each component has been carefully selected to enhance the overall performance and feel of the switch.

Switch Type: Linear
Manufacturer: HMX
Stem Material: Modified UPE
Top Housing: PA12
Bottom Housing: PA66

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.

Performance Specifications

The Caramel Linear Edition is designed with performance in mind, offering a smooth and consistent typing experience.

Operating Force: 45±5g
Bottom-out Force: 52±5g
Spring: 22mm single-stage spring
Pre-travel: 2.0mm
Total Travel: 3.6±0.3mm

Factory Lubrication

To ensure optimal performance right out of the box, the Caramel Linear Edition comes factory-lubed. A mix of GPL105 and GPL205 lubricants is applied to the leaf spring, stem feet, and bottom housing rails, while a dry film lube is used on the springs. This meticulous lubrication process ensures a smooth and consistent keystroke with minimal friction.
