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.

Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Robert Q. ★★★★★

The factory lube job on these is actually well-balanced—smooth right out of the bag without feeling over-saturated. They sound deeper and creamier than the V1s I tried, and the waffle stem keeps the keystrokes stable.

Olivia ★★★★★

The waffle stem design is a nice touch—makes them feel more stable during fast typing sessions. They came perfectly lubed with a creamy, deep sound that I didn't expect from a linear switch this smooth.

Elizabeth A. ★★★★★

The waffle stem design makes a real difference—these sound deeper and creamier than my old linears right out of the bag. Factory lube is generous and even, so I just dropped them in and they're already smooth without any scratchiness.
