Know before you buy
Yes, the WS Morandi switches feature a standard 5-pin design and are compatible with any Cherry MX-style hot-swappable keyboard. If your PCB only supports 3-pin switches, you can simply clip off the two plastic guide pins to make them fit.
The UPE stem is designed to minimize friction, resulting in a noticeably smoother keystroke than traditional POM or nylon stems. This material choice reduces scratchiness, providing a refined, fluid press that feels consistent from start to finish.
No, the integrated PMMA light diffuser is designed to sit flush within the switch housing. It is specifically engineered to amplify and disperse RGB lighting without obstructing the travel or compatibility of standard MX-style keycaps.
The double-stage spring provides a snappier return compared to standard single-stage springs. You will feel a more consistent resistance throughout the press, which helps prevent accidental key presses and gives the switch a more responsive, tactile-like character despite being a linear switch.
The WS Morandi switches are factory-lubed to ensure a smooth experience right out of the box. While many enthusiasts find the factory application sufficient for a premium feel, you can always apply additional lubricant if you prefer a specific sound profile or an even deeper, 'thockier' typing experience.
