HMX Sunset Gleam Sound Test | Featuring The Protagonist & Neo70

Meet the HMX Sunset Gleam (Duck Duck) by Knock Knock Studio - a switch that is solid, clacky, without the harsh top-out sounds, thanks to its modified PC top and PA66 bottom housing.
We include a control keyboard sound test (Neo70, Aluminum plate, gasket mount, in an acoustically treated room) in every sound test video. This allows you to compare typing sounds across our sound tests. Sound tests are highly dependent on the environment, recording tools, and the playback device. However, we believe that differences in sound can be discerned between recordings.

[@ADoovy]

is the top keyframe custom? if so how was it done? looks like paint splashes?

[@shylocutus]

Gleams dont miss, seems like a nice 60%, neo baseline is good

[@ScoopedBar]

it really does not been looking forward to getting Neo as a baseline for a while!

[@SPLIFiTeD]

What is the travel like on the Sunset Gleams?

[@ScoopedBar]

its a classic long pole!

[@ngthang2003]

3.5 mm, quite short on typing feel

[@shentobento1079]

lol are you using staebies?

[@UnikeysOfficial]

Clack beast

[@ScoopedBar]

[@cryptonit.mill.3462]
