Quick Summary

The Womier Mint Blizzard POM 42g is a light, full-POM linear aimed at a deep, muted sound and an easy press. The all-POM housing and open-box stem give it a thocky, contained voice, and the 42g actuation keeps it comfortable for long sessions. With a clip-in LED diffuser it’s also a tidy choice for an RGB build that wants a softer acoustic.

Specs and Feel

Mint Blizzard actuates at 42g and bottoms out at 50g, so the entire stroke is light with only a gentle ramp — there’s no heavy wall at the end. Travel is a near-standard 2.0mm pre-travel and 3.8mm total. The defining choice is material: POM for the top housing, bottom housing, and the open-box stem. POM is self-lubricating and acoustically soft, which is why the switch reads deep and muted rather than bright. The open-box stem shape helps contain the sound and supports the clip-in LED diffuser for RGB shine-through. The 20mm single-stage spring keeps the return light, and factory lube means the travel is smooth with low wobble out of the box.

Tuning

This is a good stock switch that doesn’t ask for much. The full-POM construction is already smooth and quiet, and over-lubing a self-lubricating housing can make the bottom-out muddy, so go light if at all. If the 42g press feels too soft, a heavier spring firms it up without changing the deep character. Films generally aren’t needed given POM’s snug fit.

Verdict

Buy the Mint Blizzard if you want a light, deep, muted linear for a quiet-ish RGB board. It’s an easy daily switch with a soft acoustic signature. Its sibling, the Womier Rose Whisper POM, shares the same internals but uses a partial-box stem for a slightly different sound shaping — pick Mint Blizzard for the fully contained, deeper open-box voice, or the Rose Whisper if you want a touch more openness.

Frequently asked

How heavy is the Mint Blizzard?

It's light — 42g actuation, 50g bottom-out — so the press is easy and fast, well suited to long typing sessions.

Why does a full-POM switch sound deep?

POM is a soft, self-lubricating plastic that damps higher frequencies, so a full-POM housing leans deep and muted rather than clacky.

What's the open-box stem about?

The open-box stem design helps contain and shape the sound while letting the clip-in LED diffuser shine through for RGB builds.
