What customers say
The WS Switch Series is highly regarded in the mechanical keyboard community, excelling in the budget premium space. Reviewers consistently praise the switches for their remarkable out-of-the-box performance, largely due to excellent factory lubrication. Variants like the WS Morandi are noted for smooth linear travel and superior light diffusion, enhancing RGB aesthetics. The sound profile is frequently described as satisfyingly deep and well-tuned to modern acoustic preferences. A major theme is the exceptional price to performance ratio; many users feel these switches rival much more expensive alternatives. This series offers a reliable, aesthetically pleasing, and acoustically refined typing experience without demanding a premium cost, making them a strong recommendation for all builders.
Know before you buy
The WS series offers Linear, Tactile, and Silent variants to suit different typing preferences. Linear switches provide a smooth, consistent keystroke, Tactile switches offer a noticeable bump for feedback, and Silent variants are specifically dampened to reduce noise.
Most switches in the WS series come factory-lubed, meaning they are ready to use with an enhanced feel right out of the box. While you can apply additional lubricant if you prefer a specific sound profile, it is not required for a smooth experience.
The WS Switch Series uses a 5-pin MX-style mounting system, which is compatible with the vast majority of custom and pre-built mechanical keyboards. If your keyboard PCB supports 5-pin switches, these will drop in easily.
The series features both 15mm and 22mm springs. Longer 22mm springs generally provide a snappier return and a more consistent force curve throughout the press, while the standard 15mm springs offer a more traditional, lighter typing feel.
Yes, these switches feature a standard MX-style cross stem. This ensures they are compatible with almost all aftermarket keycap sets designed for Cherry MX-style switches.
The housings are constructed from durable Nylon or PC for structural integrity and sound resonance. The stems are made from POM, a low-friction plastic that ensures smooth, consistent travel over the life of the switch.
