The Lotus linear switches have a POM stem and a full nylon housing. However, the nylon materials it uses for its top and bottom housing are fairly new to HMX. The top housing is made of a PA12+PA11 mix; Consider it similar to PA12 in characteristics, and it creates a concentrated and subtle top-out sound. The P2 bottom housing has less fiberglass added to it, but it still generates a signature clacky bottom out like the other HMX switches do.
