Overview
The Snow Crash is a linear switch from a collaboration between designer Keebscape and manufacturer HMX, notable as HMX's first rail bottom-out design. Instead of stopping on a central stem pole, the stem lands on rails, which lowers friction and avoids the loud, clacky finish of HMX's usual long-pole linears.
It pairs a PA66 housing with a POM stem, giving a tight stem with little wobble and smooth travel. Reviewers describe a cleaner, quieter, more balanced sound than a typical HMX long-pole, with a soft, restrained bottom-out.

Where to Buy
Feel
· Based on 1 ratingReviews
A Rail-Bottom-Out (RBO) switch with a distinctive 'shaka-shaka' sound. As you type you can feel the side rails bottoming out rather than the stem center — interesting in that way. The stem isn't lubed, but scratch in sound and feel is barely noticeable; UniKeys notes that only the spring and leaves are lubed. If you want to enjoy RBO, or a slightly scratchy Cherry-like character, it's ideal. Suits clacky boards. RBO is polarizing, so I'd grab 10 first and buy more if you end up liking it.
