thockyFrequently asked
Is the HMX Canglan 42g a heavy or light switch?
It sits squarely in the mid-weight range: 42g to actuate and 48g to bottom out. It feels a touch heavier than ultralight linears like the Xinhai, but it's still comfortable for long typing sessions and avoids the fatigue of a true heavy spring.
Does the Canglan 42g need lubing?
No. It ships factory lubed and is genuinely smooth out of the box, so most people can run it stock. Hand-lubing the springs is the only worthwhile tweak if you want to chase the last bit of refinement.
What does the HMX Canglan 42g sound like?
Its nylon housings give it a deep, full, slightly muted poppy signature rather than a sharp clack — a popular, mature linear sound that pairs well with most builds.
