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.
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.
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.
The Macchiato switches are engineered for a smooth and consistent keystroke. With a pre-travel distance of 2.0mm and a total travel distance of 4.0mm (3.8mm in real life), they provide a responsive and efficient typing experience. The operating force of 42g and a bottom-out force of 50g offer a balanced feel that is neither too light nor too heavy, making them ideal for both typing and gaming.
As one of the earliest releases from HMX, the Macchiato switches have stood the test of time, proving that classics never die out. Their enduring popularity is a testament to their exceptional design and performance, making them a staple choice for keyboard enthusiasts seeking a reliable and enjoyable typing experience.
Each quantity purchased includes 10 switches, allowing users to customize their keyboards to their liking with ease.
