Frequently asked
Is the HMX Sonja scratchy on purpose?
Yes. Unlike most modern linears chasing glassy smoothness, the Sonja is tuned for a textured, scratchy glide. It is a feature, not a defect — and the Sonja HC variant pushes that texture even further.
How much does the Sonja weigh?
It actuates around 45g and bottoms out near 54g, a medium weight that suits both typing and gaming.
Should I lube the Sonja?
Only if you want to smooth it out — but that fights the switch's whole character. If you bought it for the texture, leave it stock or just film the housing.
