HMX RETRO J Tactile Switch

The HMX Retro J Tactile switch features a loud and clacky sound profile. They are manufactured using HMX's newest tactile switch mold, which differentiates them from HMX's previous tactile switches such as Cilantro or Frog tactile switches. The Retro J tactile switch comes with minimal pre and post-travel. The tactile bump is rounded and close to a D shape.

Michael ★★★★★

I've been swapping switches for months and these are the first ones where the tactile bump feels this crisp right out of the box without any wobble. The factory lube is applied evenly, so I didn't have to spend an evening lubing them myself.

Ella ★★★★★

The clacky sound on these is exactly what I wanted—loud enough to feel satisfying without being obnoxious. They feel smooth right out of the box with the factory lube, and the new tactile mold gives them a crisp, consistent bump that’s perfect for typing.

Kevin L. ★★★★★

The factory lube is applied evenly enough that I didn’t have to do any extra work, and the tactile bump on the new mold feels sharp but not harsh. They sound exactly like that loud, clacky profile I was after, so I’m happy with how they turned out.
