HMX Sandstorm, Tactile (10 pack)

Brand Introduction

HMX has carved out a name in the enthusiast scene for its quality material choices, cutting-edge factory lubing, and inventive switch designs. With Sandstorm, they break new ground—tactile ground—channeling the textured mystery of sci-fi’s most iconic deserts.

Product Description

Sandstorm isn’t just a name—it’s a topographical experience. Think of each keystroke as traversing the undulating dunes of Arrakis: defined, rhythmic, and deliberate. The tactility here is firm and snappy with virtually no pre-travel and a long bump that extends the entire keypress. Reminds me of the Gateron Type R, but with signature HMX elements.

Built with a PC top, POM stem, and PA66 bottom, the Sandstorm leverages premium materials and a 22mm single-stage spring to provide a responsive return without harshness. The tactile bump is spread gently across the pre-travel range, making it ideal for long sessions and mindful work. This switch is clacky, and crisp.
