Starting off 2024 w/ HMX Switches

[@alexossan2829]

Been hearing people talk about HMX and I've been wondering about them. Thanks for the video!

[@keebscape]

The board sounds great! I really like HMX. I find a lot of their current offerings have a brighter sound, which personally I’m a fan of. Either way though it’s exciting to see a new name in town with excellent factory lubrication at such a competitive price.

[@Bronze06]

Hey man. Just found your channel and it's been amazing! I don't know much about keyboards but, I'm learning through your content.

[@alexotos]

Welcome aboard! I am so glad my content is a good learning tool for you! I really appreciate these kind words!

[@plinx.]

you found a good channel to learn through, I highly reccomend tuning into one of his streams if you have the time. Alex is always very good at responding to chat and if he misses something, someone else in the chat will happily answer any questions you have. Welcome to the hobby!

[@nowaybernie]

@@plinx. where can go watch the stream

[@SakuraWulf]

Yours sounds the most pleasing out of the four HMX videos i've watched. Yours also sounds better than the other aluminum that pops up at the top of YT search at the time of writing.

[@brocky]

HMX switches have been a pleasant surprise to me. I got the HMX Sillyworks Hyacinth V2U and they're amazing. 3.9mm travel so it's not as loud as the V2 which has a 3.5mm travel.

[@KeebClack]

can i ask what the difference is between a hmx awitch and any other switch?

[@brocky]

@@KeebClack I haven't tried all of them. Just the Hyacinth V2U. I like that the HMX examples I've heard have some beautiful high pitch clack to it. Certain sound signature that sounds nice. They have variations to their pole length, which produce slightly different sound and loudness. I think the manufacturing is pretty consistent it seems.

[@KeebClack]

@@brocky thx 🙏

[@sagittar27]

I got the Hyacinth V2, and it is loud!

[@fnvfanMSPR]

@@KeebClack Extremely tight housings, Best stem wobble control and extremely smooth. Once I went HMX it's hard to go back

[@Sean1647]

Hoping to see HMX tackle some tactiles with how good all their linears seem to be

[@listentoAdamTaylor]

Praying for HMX tactiles for sure

[@brocky]

Same!

[@ntqa8872]

never thought of this but now im actually hyped for it

[@nmadden02]

So glad you linked keybay, thought these were sold out and only sold on unikeys - just picked up 90 of these cheesy guys, can't wait. Awesome build and vid. And yes HMX switches are legit

[@alexotos]

They were 100% not sold out when I made the video! Although I think they only had like 10 sets left to be fair, but I am glad another vendor had them in stock!

[@albertko1]

Hearing from many folks, not just Alex that HMX has really tight housings as well as the great factory lube... glad companies are stepping up. No more need to film and lube is appreciated. I just recently got BSUN Xs in after loving both the Bolsa Lagunas and the BSUN Sunset Yellows... on that BSUN train lately after being disappointed by some of the newer Gateron releases.

[@MrSkullhead0]

I am so happy to see your personal stuff. HMX switches are nuts. Very surprising to see a new manufacturer just nearly perfrect the stock experience. I’m one of the crazies who like lubing switches but it’s nice to have a good lazy switch I can pick up just in case

[@plinx.]

two seconds into the video and i already have theese switches in my cart, gddamn it

[@alexotos]

These HMX switches are something I wish I looked at earlier.

[@yanec2501]

I love how we can already see your new years resolution in effect with the LY stems.

[@inspire1ove]

Have you tried the gateron summertimes? If you have, how would you compare them to the cheese?

[@CimInc]

Best all around switch for me r/n: WS Quartz

[@rijultandon8697]

Hey Alex! That red cable in the thumbnail looks stunnin', could you tell me which one is it? Thanks!

[@yuutsutv]

HE FOUND THE HMX SWITCHES, Next I recommend macchiatos or sky blues, they have an interesting sound signature.

[@JesusXina]

Any switch regular stem sized switches recommendation? I’m really love using cherry mx switches

[@0xBULLgogi]

Review and build of Neo80 coming soon?

[@redetrigan]

What is the keycap set on the board with the "Fuck Off" enter key?

[@mattguy4567]

Gmk boneyard. The fuck off cap js not part of boneyard though, that is from drop

[@ADoc1980]

Just picked up some cheese switches and probably going to get them in my Bauer Lite as the Aqua Kings I have in there right now are a little underwhelming.

[@vito6397]

Do you have any information about the Event Horizon? Raffle ended weeks ago but no information about the winners yet

[@alexotos]

Winners are usually emailed, I've seen a lot of people state they got their win email!

[@vito6397]

@@alexotos Thank you for the info. They could've at least sent a "winners have been selected" email to the rest of us, I even subscribed separately on the news mailing list :'(

[@rich5916]

try the rainy 75 my guy

[@ROEVVVAN]

The link for storage for keycaps is no longer available, can you please update it?

[@alexotos]

I updated it, it seems like the brand I loved using these boxes from are sold out and sold through of their medium storage boxes.

[@ROEVVVAN]

@@alexotosare you using small or medium size

[@kornboards]

US vendor for HMX switches?

[@szagii_9447]

bsun hutts have been my favorite lately

[@hoang9802]

Bolsa Supply Laguna Blue switches go kinda hard for me right now

[@pixelman8668]

My next switch in in my next board?

[@fnvfanMSPR]

HMX on top

[@vishweshmashruwala9307]

my favorite long pole switch right now is Strawberry Wine by bsun. my favorite regular pole switch is tie a between Oil Kings and v1s. gotta try these hmx switches.

[@bjsc1100]

for sound test can you please type some random words versus the same word over and over and over?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Ooooooo

[@toxicpiano8166]

oooh didn't see the stream

[@sanctus9857]

I'm very surprised by HMX switches as well. They're dirt cheap! I picked up the SW x HMX Garnet's and man the factory lube job is insane and they sound great!

[@leftcoastfunk]

Haven't seen many builds in the past month that DIDN'T use HMX switches. Still trying to figure out what exactly the hype is. Idk if this is just genious marketing by HMX to get so many creators on board, or if they are actually good switches. A decent factory lube job isn't exactly as rare these days as it used to be - I've had super consistent lube on my current go-to Aflion switches too. Hopefully HMX makes some switches that aren't so damn clacky tho. I love me some long-poles, but that pronounced bottom-out is just way too harsh on a clacky build imho. I'm building keyboards, not headaches
