HMX Pink Pig
HMX Pink Pig is a low-cost 45g linear with smooth travel but some QC variance. My honest review of its feel, sound and whether it is worth the price.

Frequently asked
How heavy is HMX Pink Pig?
It is light to medium, with a 45g actuation and a 50g bottom-out, so the travel is easy and quick.
Are there quality concerns?
There can be. Some units ship with bent pins that need straightening, and a few can rattle, so inspect and seat them carefully during the build. It is a budget switch and the consistency reflects that.
Is it factory lubed?
It is lubed at the factory and the travel is reasonably smooth, though a quick relube can even out the inconsistent units.
