Product details

The Dirty Powder switch is a factory-lubed linear switch made by HMX and tuned by YG for a smooth, low-noise typing feel. It uses an H2 stem, a modified PA12 top housing, and a PA66 bottom housing, giving it a light, controlled press with an early bottom-out feel.

Its travel and force profile are tuned for a fast, comfortable rhythm: 2.0mm actuation, 3.6mm total travel, and a 37g actuation force with a 42g bottom-out force. The listing also notes that switch legs may bend slightly during shipping, but they can be bent back into place and still work normally.
