Overview
The HMX Xinhai is a linear switch designed by HC Studio and manufactured by HMX. It pairs a PA12 top housing with a nylon bottom housing and a POM stem, a combination chosen to soften the top-end acoustics while the stem gives the bottom-out a crisper, higher-pitched voice.
It ships factory lubed, and reviewers note the leaf and spring are lubricated as well, so it is generally regarded as usable out of the box without further modification.

The sound is superb — creamy and loud, a satisfying pachi-pachi clack. It drops from a perfect score only because the newer Dragon Ghost, with its vented bottom housing, sounds clearer; Xinhai doesn’t have that. Still one of my favorites.
