Product Description

The HMX Green Apple Linear is a smooth, light linear switch suited for users who prefer a consistent keystroke without tactile bumps or clicks. It fits well for gamers seeking quick, uninterrupted key presses and typists who favor a soft, even feel. Its moderate actuation force balances responsiveness with comfort, making it suitable for extended typing sessions and fast-paced input.

Feel & Sound

  • Linear design provides a smooth, uninterrupted keystroke without tactile feedback or audible clicks.
  • Sound profile is generally quiet with a soft bottom-out, suitable for office or shared environments.
  • Polycarbonate top housing may contribute to a slightly muted sound compared to harder plastics.

Actuation Characteristics

  • Moderate actuation force of 45g allows for responsive key presses without requiring heavy finger effort.
  • Short pre-travel of 2.0mm supports quicker input registration, beneficial for gaming and fast typing.
  • Total travel of 3.3mm provides a comfortable depth, balancing speed and key feel.
  • Bottom-out force at 53g offers a gentle resistance at the end of the stroke, reducing finger fatigue.

Build Quality

  • Stem made of POM (polyoxymethylene) offers smooth sliding and durability over time.
  • Top housing constructed from polycarbonate, which can affect sound dampening and feel.
  • Bottom housing uses P5 material, details on its impact are unknown.
  • 22mm spring length contributes to consistent force application throughout the key press.

Compatibility

  • PCB mount design with 5 pins ensures stable installation on compatible PCBs.
  • Standard MX stem shape allows compatibility with a wide range of keycaps.
  • Unknown compatibility with hot-swap sockets or LED configurations.

Trade-offs

  • Linear feel may not satisfy users who prefer tactile or clicky feedback for typing accuracy.
  • Force variance of 5 cN could lead to slight inconsistencies between switches.
  • Unknown factory lubrication quality, so additional lubing may be needed to reduce scratchiness or noise.
