What customers say
The Wuque WS Onion Linear Switches are highly regarded for their exceptional value and out of box performance. Users consistently praise the superior factory lubrication, noting the remarkable smoothness that negates the need for manual tuning. This ready-to-use quality significantly enhances the user experience. The sound profile is another major highlight, frequently described as deep and pleasantly thocky, delivering a premium feel despite the affordable price. While some enthusiasts find the 45g actuation force light, the overall consensus positions the WS Onion as a top-tier, high-performance linear switch, setting a new standard for factory-lubed quality in the market.
Know before you buy
The Stock version comes as manufactured by JWK. The Lubed version includes factory-applied Krytox 205g0 on the housing and stem, plus Krytox 105 on the springs, while the Lubed and Filmed option adds Deskey films to tighten the housing tolerance for a deeper sound profile.
These are standard MX-style switches with a cross-stem mount. They are compatible with most hot-swap and solderable mechanical keyboards that support Cherry MX-style switches.
The 63.5g spring weight is considered a medium-heavy actuation force. It provides enough resistance to prevent accidental key presses while remaining light enough to avoid finger fatigue during long typing sessions.
The switches feature a PC (polycarbonate) top housing for clarity and sound resonance, a Nylon bottom housing for a deeper acoustic signature, and a POM stem for smooth, low-friction actuation.
If you purchase the factory-lubed versions, they arrive pre-lubed with high-quality Krytox lubricants, so no additional work is required. If you prefer a specific custom feel, the Stock version provides a clean slate for your own manual lubrication.
Yes, the PC top housing is designed to allow light to pass through clearly. This makes them a great choice if you want to showcase your keyboard's per-key RGB lighting.
