HMX x XLLAB Yamatake Light Tactile Switch x70 pcs

HMX Yamatake Light Tactile

HMX Yamatake Light Tactile are light tactile mechanical switches designed for users seeking gentle and smooth feedback without an aggressive or overly sharp "bump." They are the ideal choice for gamers and prolific typists currently transitioning from linear to tactile switches, as they offer a subtle feel without fatiguing the fingers. The switch provides exceptionally smooth travel and a distinct but balanced sound profile – a perfect combination of acoustics and feel for everyday use.

Feel and Sound

• Accessible "p-shaped" tactility: The switch features a small, rounded "bump" that provides light and gradual feedback. This makes it incredibly pleasant and easy for users accustomed to entirely linear switches to adapt to.

• Smooth movement: Thanks to the polycarbonate top housing and POM stem, key travel is super smooth, without unnecessary friction or scratchiness.

• Rich and Clacky character: The sound profile is rich and at the same time distinct (clacky). The PA-2 plastic bottom housing gives the switch a specific, almost clicking sound, which is definitely noticeable and louder than that of completely silent models.

Actuation and Characteristics

• Moderate resistance: Requires moderate force for actuation – perfect for those who want clear feedback upon press but without heavy resistance.

• Responsive reaction: Pre-travel is precisely tuned so that the switch reacts quickly and dynamically, while preventing accidental or unintentional presses.

• Comfortable bottom-out: The bottom-out force and total travel provide a stable yet soft finish, maintaining high comfort even during hours of typing.

Build Quality

• Durable POM Stem: Made from POM material, known for its self-lubricating properties and long lifespan.

• High-quality top housing: The transparent polycarbonate (PC) ensures smooth stem movement and consistent feel with every press.

• Specific base: The bottom part made of PA-2 plastic is the key component that creates the unique and recognizable sound character.

• Combined factory lubrication: The stem and sliders come with a thin layer of liquid lubricant for maximum smooth travel, while the spring and metal leaf are treated with a dry film, eliminating annoying metallic spring ping.
