HMX's first silent tactile switch – and one that deliberately goes for "muted thock" rather than full silence. At around 35gf actuation, the Blue Star types pleasantly light and effortless, with a clearly felt bump that never turns aggressive. What makes it special sits in the bottom housing: a PA66-TPE blend that deliberately absorbs vibrations, so the switch runs noticeably quieter than a regular tactile while keeping a rounded, thocky character – without the typical mushy feel of many silent switches. A solid pick for anyone who wants tactile feedback in quieter environments without giving up on real acoustics.

Add a switch container (460ml | 110 Switches) Holds up to 110 switches – your switches are shipped directly in the container.Light scratches on the top side are possible due to production. +€4,50
