Frequently asked
Which Poro weight should I choose?
The 37g (42g bottom-out) is light and fast; the 45g (50g bottom-out) is a more planted all-rounder. Pick by how heavy your typing is.
Why does Poro sound fuller than other HMX linears?
It uses nylon for both the top and bottom housing. Full-nylon housings damp the bright top notes and give a deeper, fuller sound than the usual PC-topped HMX switches.
Is it smooth stock?
Yes. The LY stem and factory lube make for a smooth glide right out of the box, so no tuning is required.
