HMX GACHAPON LINEAR EDITION Switches

Introducing the HMX Gachapon Linear Edition, a cutting-edge keyboard switch designed for enthusiasts seeking a smooth and satisfying typing experience. Engineered by KeyOL and manufactured by HMX, this switch offers a unique blend of materials and design features to deliver a superior performance.

Design and Build

The Gachapon Linear Edition is meticulously crafted to provide a deeper sound profile, thanks to its innovative T4 stem. The top housing is made from PA12, a popular choice among switch designers for its ability to produce a subtle and less clacky top-out sound. The bottom housing is constructed from TG30, a composite of PA66 with 30% fiberglass, ensuring a classic solid and poppy bottom-out sound characteristic of HMX switches.

Smooth Typing Experience

Both the T4 stem and PA12 top housing are known for their smoothness, ensuring that the travel of the switch is free from any scratchiness. This makes the Gachapon Linear Edition ideal for users who prioritize a seamless and fluid typing experience.
