HMX Caramel Pudding V2 Linear Switch – Creamy, Thocky Upgrade with Waffle Stem Design
The HMX Caramel Pudding V2 Linear Switch is a full evolution over V1, bringing meaningful upgrades in both mold design and sound performance. Most notably, it introduces HMX’s first-ever waffle stem tip design, engineered to enhance acoustics and deliver a rich, thocky and creamy typing experience.
Sound Profile: Thocky, Creamy, and Balanced
At the core of the Caramel Pudding V2 is a carefully tuned material combination:
- H1 Stem (Soft Material): Reduces harshness and eliminates unwanted clacky tones
- P4 Bottom Housing (PA66 Blend + Fiberglass): Enhances volume and adds a slightly poppy resonance
Together, these materials create a balanced medium-pitched thock, offering a smooth and satisfying bottom-out without excessive sharpness. Perfect for enthusiasts looking for a creamy linear switch with depth and character.
Innovative Waffle Stem Tip Design
The newly introduced waffle-style stem tip improves contact dynamics between the stem and housing, helping produce a fuller, more controlled sound signature. This design is a key factor behind the switch’s distinctive thocky acoustic profile.
HMX Gen 3 Factory Lubing – Smooth Out of the Box
Caramel Pudding V2 is also the first switch to feature HMX’s third-generation factory lubing process. Lubrication is precisely applied to:
- Stem legs
- Slider rails
- Contact points
FYI: The Caramel Pudding V2 is also the first switch that uses HMX's third-generation factory lubing process. The lube is precisely applied to the stem legs, sliders, and contact point to prevent overlube.
