HMX Moksae Silent Linear Switches

The HMX Moksae Silent Linear switch is a quiet, smooth linear switch designed for office environments and daily typing. It suits users who want a silent keyboard experience without a mushy bottom-out feel. The switch reduces noise for coworkers while maintaining a firm, consistent keypress that avoids fatigue during extended use.

Feel & Sound

• Linear and smooth keypress with no tactile bump or click.
• Silent operation achieved through a double-shot MX stem and internal dampening, minimizing noise on both press and bottom-out.
• Bottom-out feel is firm rather than soft or mushy, providing clear feedback without harsh impact.

Actuation Characteristics

• Moderate actuation force around 45g, balancing responsiveness and comfort for typing.
• Pre-travel of 2.0mm and total travel near 3.8mm offer a standard key travel distance suitable for most users.
• Bottom-out force slightly higher than actuation force, contributing to a solid feel without excessive resistance.

Build Quality

• Housing made from polycarbonate (top) and PA66 nylon (bottom) for durability and consistent sound profile.
• Stem constructed from POM and TPE materials with a double-shot design, enhancing silencing and stem stability.
• Factory lubed with thin coatings on stem legs and sliders, plus dry film on spring and leaf, reducing scratchiness and spring noise (spring ping).

Use Cases & Trade-offs

• Well suited for office work and quiet typing environments where noise reduction is important.
• Less ideal for users seeking tactile or clicky feedback, or gamers who prefer faster, lighter switches.
• Factory lubrication improves smoothness but additional lubing or filming effects are unknown.
