Frequently asked
How does the Red Arowana sound?
High-pitched but full — it's clacky without being thin. It sits below the yellow Arowana in pitch, which makes it a good middle ground if you want some clack without the sharpest top end.
Is it smooth out of the box?
Yes. HMX manufacturing plus factory lube gives it that clean, glassy travel HMX is known for, with very little scratch and minimal wobble.
What weight is it?
Medium-light: roughly 40g to actuate and 45g at bottom-out, so it's easy to press but still has enough body to feel intentional.
