A light tactile in the Brown style – but with a surprising sound direction for this category. Instead of the typically bright sound of many light tactiles, the Cream Tea delivers a noticeably deep, creamy sound profile thanks to HMX's H2 stem material, familiar from the Dirty Pink. At around 48gf actuation, the switch types pleasantly light and effortless, with a subtle but clearly felt bump. The slightly longer 3.9mm travel additionally contributes to a rounded, relaxed typing feel. An interesting pick for anyone after a light tactile with a deep sound – a combination that's genuinely rare on the market.
