HMX K01 Light Tactile Switch

The HMX K01 tactile switch is HMX's first-ever light-tactile switch to be released. The smaller tactile bump creates a comfortable typing feel with moderate tactile feedback, which is optimal for long-term typing duty and daily use. Technically, these are a long pole switch, but the stem pole is not extended by much; A 3.8mm travel distance makes the bottom out solid but not abrupt.

Material-wise, we went with the classic non-modified PA66 housing and POM stem for the K01 light tactile switch; Such material choice maintains the classic HMX clack and doesn't make the switch sound overly loud and high-pitched. They sound clean and crisp overall, and I don't have to tell you how pleasant they will sound on your keyboard.

The top housing comes with a matted texture just like the HMX Sonja and Sonja HC switches to create a grainy, scratchy feeling during typing.

Important to note: When buying X90 or more switches, they will come in our brand-new switch container.

Customer Reviews (5.0 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Elizabeth L. ★★★★★

The tactile bump is subtle but very satisfying for typing—not too sharp, not too mushy. Installed these in my daily board and the feel is consistent across all ten switches.

Isabella ★★★★★

The factory lube is applied just right—no scratchiness on the upstroke, and that small bump is exactly the middle ground I wanted between linear and sharp tactile. Been typing on these for a week and they’ve stayed consistent, no need to break them in.

James S. ★★★★★

That smaller tactile bump makes a real difference—it's noticeable without being overwhelming during long typing sessions. The factory lube is smooth and even, so they're good to go right out of the pack.
