HMX Blush Charm Linear Switch (Deep and Thocky Sounding)

The HMX Blush Charm is a light linear switch designed by 80 Retros and manufactured by HMX, finished in a soft blush pink housing with a printed cute light diffuser on the top housing.

The stem is molded from UPE+, an upgraded ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene blend that is highly vibration-damping. Paired with 99% PA top and bottom housings, Blush 1990 produces a low-pitched, rounded, full-bodied sound with none of the high-frequency ring that harder or fiberglass-loaded housings tend to introduce.

Blush 1990 comes in two weights so you can pick the feel you want. The 45g bottom-out version actuates at just 37g, making it one of the lightest linears in the lineup and a strong pick for fast typists and gamers. The 53g bottom-out version actuates at 42g and gives you a bit more resistance for controlled, deliberate typing.

Customer video review of HMX Blush Charm Linear Switch Factory Lubed (35PCS)

Board in video is the osume x bachoo nemui with a POM plate, with osume PBT keycaps. A solid deeper pitched switch that I think leans more toward "creamy" than "thocky". If I had to choose a switch to compare it to, I'd choose the Caramel Pudding V2s, which I also own and really love. Similar feel, but the blush charms are deeper. If you enjoyed the caramel puddings but still want a deeper pitch, good chance you'll enjoy the blush charms. I find them very smooth and comfortable to type on, and the 53g bottom still felt pretty light. I haven't noticed any unwanted noise or ticking, and everything worked perfectly straight out of the container. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because after some use, I don't think the more muted sound signatures of deeper switches are personally for me. Even so, they're getting use on a board for late night gaming when I don't want to make too noise. Also loved the containers, and that you're given spare diffusers!

I got the 53g version of these switches and absolutely love them! They aren’t flyway light but aren’t heavy either. They have the perfect medium feel on my QK100 MK2 board and a bright, poppy sound that is quite similar to the stock Neo Oat switches the board came with. If you like that sound profile, but prefer more of a medium feel, these are for you! The cute light diffuser inserts and packaging are bonuses! They even give you a few extra diffusers just in case. I’m really happy with these switches, and would recommend them.
