HMX Yoghurt S Linear Switches

The HMX Yoghurt S Linear is a smooth linear switch designed for users who want a clean, loud keypress with a sharp bottom-out sound. It suits typists or gamers who prefer a stable stem with minimal wobble and a distinct, bright acoustic profile. Its transparent housing also makes it suitable for builds featuring RGB lighting.

Feel & Sound

• Delivers a smooth and clean keystroke with no tactile bump or click.
• Produces a bright, sharp bottom-out sound due to a thickened P7 bottom housing with added fiberglass, resulting in a more aggressive acoustic feedback.
• Stem stability is improved by a redesigned top housing, reducing wobble and enhancing consistency.

Build Quality

• Uses a reinforced bottom housing to create a clearer, more defined sound on bottom-out.
• Top housing modifications hold the stem firmly, minimizing stem wobble, which can affect typing precision.
• Employs a new factory lubing method that enhances smoothness and reduces scratchiness, improving out-of-the-box feel.

Compatibility

• Features a lighter housing color that supports RGB shine-through, suitable for keyboards with under-key lighting.
• Unknown details on mount type or hot-swap compatibility.

Trade-offs

• The louder, sharper bottom-out sound may be disruptive in quiet environments or shared workspaces.
• Its aggressive acoustic profile might not suit users seeking a quieter or softer typing experience.
• Unknown if additional modifications like filming or re-lubing significantly improve performance beyond factory lube.
