Craving a true thocky linear from HMX?
HMX Known for Clack
Most HMX linears are famous for their bright, high‑pitched clack – great for some, but not for thock lovers.
Missing That Deep Resonance
You want a switch that delivers a satisfying, marble‑like bottom‑out without the sharp overtones.
Wobble & Scratch
Even good linears can suffer from stem wobble or slight scratchiness that breaks immersion.
🌊 Canglan V2 – The Thocky HMX You've Been Waiting For — Unique T2 stem material paired with P3 top and PA66 bottom creates a deeper, fuller sound. Zero wobble, zero scratch, just pure thock.
Why Canglan V2 Redefines the HMX Sound
🌊 Deep, Marble‑Like Thock
First‑Ever Thocky HMX – A New Acoustic Direction
Feature The Canglan V2 introduces a unique material composition for the T2 stem, combined with a P3 top and PA66 bottom. This blend shifts the acoustic signature from bright clack to a satisfying deep thock.
Advantage Enjoy a sound profile that's warm, full, and reminiscent of marble striking marble – no harsh overtones, just pure auditory pleasure.
Benefit Perfect for those who prefer a richer, more immersive typing experience. Whether gaming or coding, each keystroke feels and sounds premium.
Evidence Compared to other HMX linears, Canglan V2 produces a noticeably deeper frequency response, confirmed by community blind tests calling it "the first true thocky HMX."

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Canglan V2 the "first thocky HMX"?▼
The unique T2 stem material combined with the P3 top and PA66 bottom shifts the acoustic profile from HMX's signature bright clack to a deep, resonant thock. It's a deliberate tuning that prioritizes warmth and depth over sharpness.
How does the T2 stem differ from POM or LY?▼
T2 is a proprietary HMX material engineered specifically for acoustic tuning. It offers excellent self‑lubrication like POM but contributes to a deeper sound signature, making it ideal for thock‑oriented builds.
Is the 42g actuation suitable for gaming?▼
Absolutely. 42g is light enough for rapid inputs but with a 48g bottom‑out that prevents accidental presses. It's a favorite among competitive gamers who need speed without fatigue.
Do I need to lube these switches?▼
No. Canglan V2 comes factory‑lubed with consistent, high‑quality lubrication. The T2 stem also provides inherent smoothness. Lubing is optional if you want to further customize the sound.
Will the 5‑pin design fit my 3‑pin hot‑swap board?▼
Yes. The two plastic positioning pins can be clipped off with flush cutters to convert to a 3‑pin switch, making it compatible with most 3‑pin hot‑swap PCBs.
What is the expected lifespan?▼
Canglan V2 is rated for 80 million keystrokes. The high‑quality materials and HMX's precision manufacturing ensure consistent performance for years.
