HMX Martini 42g
My take on the HMX Martini 42g: a 42g LY Nylon linear with a long-ish 3.8mm travel, even factory lube, and a clean, rounded sound for daily typing.

Frequently asked
How does the Martini feel to type on?
Light and smooth. A 42g actuation with a 3.8mm travel gives it a full, cushioned stroke that's easy on the fingers over long sessions.
Is it good stock or does it need work?
It's good stock. HMX applies even factory lube, so most people can use these straight from the bag without touching them.
What kind of sound does it make?
The LY Nylon stem and PA12 Nylon housing keep it rounded and on the deeper side rather than clacky — a calm, medium-thocky tone.
