Frequently asked

Is the Geon Raptor MX Extreme a speed switch?

Yes. With 0.9mm of pre-travel and a 3.1mm total travel, it actuates and resets noticeably earlier than a standard MX linear, which is why it's pitched at gaming rather than long-form typing.

Does the Raptor MX Extreme need lubing?

It ships factory-lubed and feels smooth out of the bag, so most people can skip it. A light hand-lube only adds marginal polish on an HMX housing.

Who makes the Geon Raptor MX Extreme?

It's manufactured by HMX for Geon, pairing a PC top housing with a nylon bottom and a POM stem.
