The HMX Xinhai switch distinguishes itself from other HMX switches in several notable ways. Firstly, its top housing is constructed from a softer material, PA12, as opposed to the more common PA66 or PA2. This design choice results in a less sharp and less pronounced top-out sound. Additionally, the bottom housing is composed of a modified Nylon material, a standard choice among HMX switches. Notably, the housing materials used in the Xinhai are identical to those in the HMX Macchiato; the key distinction between the two switches lies in their stem material. The Macchiato features a POK stem, lending it a pronounced 'thocky' sound in the mid-range, whereas the Xinhai employs a POM stem, producing a crisper, higher-pitched bottom-out sound.

Furthermore, Xinhai employs a unique factory lubrication technique. This method involves applying more lubrication to the leaf spring and modifying the application process to ensure a more even lubricant distribution.
Both HMX Xinhai heavy and HMX Xinhai light versions are available

Alexander Y. ★★★★★

Just swapped these into my daily board and the difference is immediate – the softer PA12 top really does cut down on that plasticky ping I used to hear. They feel incredibly smooth right out of the bag with the factory lube, no need to break them in.

Ellie ★★★★★

The PA12 top housing gives these a noticeably softer, more cushioned bottom-out feel compared to other switches I’ve tried. All ten came consistently lubed and smooth right out of the box.

Richard E. ★★★★★

Finally, a factory-lubed switch that actually feels consistent out of the box—no uneven scratchiness here. The softer PA12 top housing gives these a uniquely smooth, almost buttery bottom-out sound I wasn't expecting.
