HMX Anti Linear Switch

The stem mold Anti switches use is newly designed and custom-made for Anti switches only. Unlike the traditional HMX linear switches we are familiar with, Anti switches are different in these aspects:

1. The customized stem mold and housing mold give them a scratchy feeling similar to the Sonja switches
2. Slightly more stem wobble than any existing HMX switches to eliminate potential syringe effect or tight feeling during travel
3. The new stem comes with a smaller-than-usual stem tip, which creates a clacky but not too loud bottom-out sound
4. With a precise factory lubing method, they sound very clean with a tiny bit of factory lube on the right spots

The design is pretty aggressive, as it seems HMX is sacrificing the tight stem tolerance for an ultimate smooth typing experience. HMX stepped outside its comfort zone this time and experimented with something that's usually not associated with HMX switches.
