Product Description

The HMX Macchiato Linear Edition is a refined mechanical keyboard switch designed for enthusiasts who appreciate a smooth and clacky typing experience without excessive noise. These switches are a testament to classic design combined with modern material innovation, offering a unique feel and sound profile that stands out among its peers.

Design and Build

The Macchiato switches feature a POK stem and a modified nylon housing, ensuring durability and a satisfying tactile response. The top housing is crafted from PA12, contributing to the switch's robust construction. This combination of materials results in a switch that is both smooth and solid, providing a reliable typing experience.

Sound Profile

One of the standout features of these switches is their clacky bottom-out sound, which is noticeable but not overly loud. This makes them an excellent choice for users who find other HMX switches like the Xinhai, Hyacinth V2, or Sunset Gleam too loud for their liking. The Macchiato switches strike a perfect balance between sound and performance.
