HMX Macchiato V2 Linear Switch Factory Lubed (10PCS)
Category: Switch
The HMX Macchiato V2 Linear Switch
It is the upgraded successor to the popular HMX Macchiato V1, combining a smooth, slightly scratchy, and textured typing feel with a clean, clacky, and poppy sound profile. Built with HMX’s latest L3 mold, the Macchiato V2 delivers improved smoothness (compared to Macchiato V1), tighter tolerances, and minimal stem wobble for a more refined typing experience.
Sound Profile: Clacky, Poppy, and Balanced
The Macchiato V2 uses a carefully selected material combination to maintain the signature sound profile of the original:
- POK Stem: Smooth and textured feeling with a slightly lower-pitched tone that reduces harshness
- PA12 Top Housing: Enhances overall smoothness and typing consistency. Slightly reduce the scratchy feeling that the POK stem creates.
- P2 Bottom Housing (Nylon Blend with Fiberglass): Produces a lively clacky sound with satisfying poppy resonance
Together, these materials create a smooth, responsive, and balanced typing experience without sounding overly sharp or loud.
Upgraded HMX L3 Molds
The biggest upgrade in the Macchiato V2 is HMX’s newest L3 mold design, significantly improving switch smoothness while maintaining excellent stability and minimal stem wobble.
Perfect for custom mechanical keyboard builds, the HMX Macchiato V2 Linear Switch offers refined acoustics, upgraded smoothness, and a premium clacky linear feel straight out of the box.
