HMX Flying Squirrel Silent Linear Switch Factory Lubed
Designed by Xida and manufactured by HMX, Flying Squirrel is a factory-lubed silent linear switch. HMX’s silent switch mold and updated lubrication are designed for a smooth, clean stroke with a distinct bottom-out feel.
A hardened, embedded silicone damper helps reduce sharp noise while keeping the keypress responsive and not overly soft like most silent switches. The sound profile is described as a clean, low-pitched, muted sound, even during fast typing.
