The HMX sandstorm tactile switch is unique in the following aspects:
Sandstorm switches come with a near D tactile bump; Each keystroke starts with tactility and ends with tactility, which is similar to the Type R tactile switch. The only difference is that there is a super short linear travel at the very end of the press, but it's not noticeable
They come with HMX's new top housing with a wider top opening. This means that they feel very smooth and there is no syringe effect
You know how HMX is. The sandstorm switches are just as clacky as you expected.
Important to note: When buying X90 or more switches, they will come in our brand-new switch container.
