What customers say
The Sarokeys Strawberry Wine Linear Switches are highly praised for their exceptional out of box smoothness, largely due to superior factory lubrication. This feature saves users significant time and effort typically spent on manual modification. Users consistently love the deep, creamy, and satisfyingly thocky sound profile, which aligns perfectly with current acoustic preferences. The switches offer excellent material quality and a wobble free housing, ensuring reliability. While the light 45g actuation is generally well received for responsiveness, a few users note minor spring ping. Overall, these switches deliver a top tier, ready to install typing experience, offering superb value by bridging the gap between budget and high end custom options.
Know before you buy
Yes, these are 5-pin switches compatible with most modern hot-swappable mechanical keyboards that support Cherry MX-style switches. If your PCB only supports 3-pin switches, you can easily clip the two plastic guide pins off the bottom to make them fit.
No, the Strawberry Wine V2 switches come factory pre-lubricated by Bsun. They are designed to be smooth and consistent straight out of the box, so additional lubrication is optional and based on personal preference.
Thanks to the UMPE stem and POM housing, these offer a very smooth, frictionless keystroke. The 21mm single-stage spring provides a snappy, consistent return that feels slightly more responsive than standard linear switches.
They are excellent for both. The 2.0mm pre-travel and 3.4mm total travel provide a fast, responsive feel that is great for gaming, while the 45g actuation force is light enough to prevent finger fatigue during long typing sessions.
The 5-pin design includes two extra plastic pins that provide additional stability when mounting the switch directly to a PCB without a plate. This helps keep the switches perfectly aligned and reduces unwanted wobble.
