The HMX K01 LIGHT TACTILE is a mechanical keyboard switch designed for users seeking a comfortable and refined typing experience. As HMX’s first light-tactile switch, it offers a moderate tactile feedback with a smaller tactile bump, making it ideal for extended typing sessions and daily use. Its carefully selected materials and thoughtful engineering ensure a clean, crisp sound and a satisfying feel with every keystroke.
This switch features a new mold and is crafted with a focus on both performance and durability. The housing is made from classic, non-modified PA66, while the stem is constructed from POM. The top housing is finished with a matted texture, providing a grainy, scratchy sensation that enhances the tactile experience during typing. The bottom housing also uses PA66, contributing to the signature sound profile and overall robustness.
The keyboard switch delivers a light, yet noticeable tactile bump, offering moderate feedback that is neither too sharp nor too soft. Its 3.8mm total travel distance ensures a solid bottom-out feel that is not abrupt, making it comfortable for long-term use. The 18mm KOS single-stage spring provides consistent force throughout the keystroke, enhancing typing precision and comfort.
The combination of PA66 housing and POM stem produces a classic, clean “clack” that is crisp without being overly loud or high-pitched. The sound is refined, making it pleasant for both personal and shared workspaces. The matted top housing further contributes to the unique acoustic signature, reminiscent of other popular HMX switches.
Each switch is factory-lubed for optimal smoothness and reduced friction. A thin coat of 205g0 lubricant is applied to the stem legs and sliders, while the spring and leaf are treated with a dry film. The bottom housing and stem pole remain dry to maintain the intended tactile response and sound characteristics.
This switch is engineered for users who value a balanced tactile response and a refined sound signature. Its thoughtful material selection, precise actuation, and factory lubrication make it a standout choice for those seeking a premium typing experience in their mechanical keyboard.
