HMX Dune
HMX Dune, formerly Sandstorm, is a medium 50g tactile with a rounded bump and smooth travel. My review of its feel, sound and whether it needs tuning.

Frequently asked
Is HMX Dune the same as Sandstorm?
Yes. Dune is the renamed version of the switch formerly sold as Sandstorm, so reviews and impressions of Sandstorm apply here.
How strong is the tactile bump?
It is medium. With a 50g actuation rising to a 58g bottom-out and a fairly early bump, it reads as a rounded, usable tactility rather than an aggressive D-shaped snap.
Good for typing or gaming?
It leans toward typing. The clear tactile feedback and medium weight make it comfortable for long sessions, though it works fine for general use.
