HMX Crisp

My take on the HMX Crisp: a POM linear with Teflon-mixed housings for a clean, high-pitched clack. Light 37g and 42g options, smooth stock, sharp sound.

Frequently asked

What weights does the Crisp come in?

Two: a 37g version (43g bottom-out) and a 42g version (48g bottom-out). Both are light linears; pick the 37g for the lightest possible press.

Why is it called Crisp?

The housings are mixed with Teflon (PTFE) powder, which concentrates and sharpens the sound. With the POM stem and bottom, it produces a clean, high-pitched clack.

Is it smooth stock?

Yes. The PTFE-infused POM is naturally slick and the switches ship lubed, so they glide well without any extra work.
