HMX Swift | SINGAKBD Kohaku Sound Test

Keep in mind that the following is simply my opinion. I am an affiliate of Unikeys but I bought these switches with my own money.
In a vacuum the HMX Swifts are a great switch. They are incredibly smooth thanks to HMX's stellar factory lubing, have virtually no stem wobble, and they have a higher pitched, or clacky, sound profile. I am a big fan of HMX and would recommend at least trying out one of the switches they offer to experience the plug-and-play quality of what we as a community should expect from stock switches in 2024. On paper these switches look very similar to Deep Navys. The only difference (besides a slightly shorter travel distance) is bottom housing material; Swifts use "PA3.0" where as Deep Navys use P3. They are both Nylon blends (P3 has 30% fiberglass and some amount of PTFE for added smoothness) but I cannot seem to find much information on the composition of PA3.0. My guess (based on descriptions of the PA2.0 material) is that PA3.0 is similar to P3 but has more PTFE added. This guess is just a guess, so please let me know if you have any more information on the housing materials! In terms of sound, they seem to be ever so slightly deeper than Deep Navys, yet still on the clacky side. I'd say that they fall somewhere in between the Canglan V2s and the Deep Navys.

[@inspire1ove]

that spacebar sounds so good. is it also using the hmx switch? and also which stabs ?

[@keebscape]

Thanks! The spacebar is HMX Swift as well. I've really liked all HMX I've tried in spacebars. The stabs are Durock V2s lubed with Krytox 205g0 and BDZ on the wires
