HMX Sunset Gleam Linear Switch
Sold in packs of 10.
This is the full-travel variant of the Sunset Gleam switch. The major differences between these and the original Sunset Gleam switches are that they have a shorter stem hence longer travel distance, different stem color, and spring weight.
HMX's PC top housing is nothing like your regular PC top housings. Due to its characteristics, PC top housing usually makes the top-out sounds friable and loose; HMX made modifications to the touch point where the stem hits the top housing and reduced such unpleasant sound. As a result, the top-out sounds concentrated and solid. The modified PA66 bottom housing does come with some fiberglass added to it but not too much. The purpose is to make the bottom-out sound as solid as possible without making it the clackiest bottom-out ever. When paired with the LY stem, each keystroke will sound solid and clacky.
