HMX Eva 42g

My take on the HMX Eva 42g: a light Nylon linear with a quick 1.8mm pre-travel, short 3.6mm stroke, and a smooth, rounded sound that ships ready to use.

Frequently asked

How quick does the Eva feel?

Quick. The short 1.8mm pre-travel and 3.6mm total stroke mean it actuates and bottoms out fast, which gamers tend to like.

Does it need lube?

No — it's factory lubed and the all-Nylon build glides well stock. Tuning is optional rather than necessary.

What does it sound like?

Full Nylon housing keeps it rounded and on the deeper side — a calm, medium-thocky linear rather than a sharp clack.
