HMX Sandstorm

Brand new tactile switches designed by SULAB, manufactured by HMX. These switches feature a snappy bump at the top of the keypress like DS White Jade or Gateron Azure Dragon. The pitch is somewhere in between those two switches, but it's certainly louder than both. There's there's next to no leaf or spring noise present, leading to a very crisp and satisfying bottom-out.

Sandstorm switches utilize HMX's brand-new top housing mold, increasing the clearance between the top housing and stem.

A  textured mesh pattern has been applied to the points where the top housing contacts the stem during rebound, significantly improving the feel. It completely resolves the overly tight press feel associated with the old molds.

Available in two different spring weights.
