HMX KD400 Linear Switch

The HMX KD200 switch now has its successor. The KD400 switches are a new clack king and they are manufactured by HMX using the newest molds and newest materials. 

The KD400 is the first-ever HMX switch that uses the M1 strengthened POM stem and the N3 bottom housing. When they collide, it creates a unique and clacky sound profile. It is reminiscent of the classic HMX clack, but there is something more to it.

Mold-wise, KD400 uses the L3 mold sets with a slightly larger gap between the stem and the top housing, allowing for a super smooth travel.

These switches are a unique existence among the HMX linear lineup, and a must try if you are a clack lover.

Stella Z. ★★★★★

The clack on these is exactly what I was hoping for—crisp and loud without being obnoxious. They feel super smooth right out of the bag, and the updated molds make them sound consistent across all 35 switches.

Samuel ★★★★★

The factory lubing on these is really well done—smooth right out of the box with no need to break them in. They produce that satisfying clack sound I was hoping for, and the new mold design feels noticeably more consistent than older HMX switches.

Kevin ★★★★★

I was worried these might feel scratchy, but they're surprisingly smooth right out of the box—the factory lube is applied perfectly. The sound is a crisp, satisfying clack without being too loud for my office setup.
