Frequently asked

What's different about the HMX Hades V2 versus the original?

The V2 moves manufacturing to HMX and adopts the newer T5 extended stem. Paired with the full PA12 nylon housing, it leans into a deeper, fuller sound than the earlier run.

Does the HMX Hades V2 come lubed?

Yes. It ships factory-lubed and is smooth enough to drop straight into a build, so no hand-lubing is required for most people.

Which weight should I pick, the 37g or the 48g?

The green-stem version actuates around 37g and bottoms out at 42g for a light, fast feel. The black-stem version is heavier at roughly 48g actuation and 58g bottom-out if you prefer more resistance.
