HMX Cinnamon Semi-Silent Linear Switches (10pcs)
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
The HMX Cinnamon is a semi-silent linear that builds on HMX's earlier silent design. Semi-silent means the keystroke is dampened, but not as heavily as on fully dampened silent switches – you still hear it, and the feel stays closer to a regular linear. On the Cinnamon that comes out deep and clearly thocky.
Instead of the usual POM it uses an LY stem that keeps friction low; together with the PA12 top housing the travel is very smooth. The reinforced nylon bottom housing stays firm even when you bottom out hard, so the bottom-out feels soft but not mushy. With 3.8 mm total travel it falls into the Inbetween class. A great pick if you want a deep, thocky switch that's quieter than a regular linear without feeling spongy. Find more dampened switches in our Silent Linear Switches.
