Frequently asked
How quiet is the HMX Taro?
Very. The POM/TPE double-shot stem uses integrated silicone dampeners to cut both the bottom-out and top-out noise, making it one of the quieter silent linears around — well suited to shared spaces and late-night use.
Does the Taro feel mushy like other silent switches?
Less than most. Silent switches always trade a little crispness for quiet, but the Taro keeps a relatively clean bottom-out instead of the dead, spongy feel cheaper silents have.
What weights does the Taro come in?
Two: a light 37g (45g bottom-out) and a medium 45g (53g bottom-out). The 37g is a great fit for fast, quiet gaming.
