The Gachapon linear switch is a new HMX release. They come with a T4 stem to create a relatively deeper sound profile. The PA12 top housing has become a common pick of switch designers to create a more subtle and less clacky top-out sound. KeyOL didn't go with a pure PA66 bottom housing to avoid making them sound dull. PA66 with 30% fiberglass added is going to bring you the classic solid and poppy bottom-out sound that HMX switches have.
Feeling wise, T4 and PA12 are both very smooth so there is no need to worry about the travel being scratchy as there is none.
