Know before you buy
The HMX Volume 0 switches are engineered specifically for silent operation, utilizing internal dampening to minimize noise. While they are significantly quieter than standard mechanical switches, you will still hear a very faint, soft sound upon bottoming out.
No. A common complaint with silent switches is a rubbery or mushy bottom-out, but the Volume 0 is designed to maintain a crisp, clean feel. You get the benefit of noise reduction without sacrificing the satisfying feedback of a linear switch.
No, these switches come factory lubricated. They are ready to be installed directly into your keyboard out of the box, ensuring a smooth keystroke without the need for manual prep work.
These switches feature a standard MX-style mount, making them compatible with the vast majority of hot-swappable mechanical keyboards that use Cherry MX-style switches. If your keyboard supports standard 3-pin or 5-pin MX switches, these will work.
Each pack contains 35 switches. If you are building a full-sized keyboard, you will need to purchase multiple packs to cover all keys.
