JWICK JWK SemiSilent Linear Switches

The JWICK JWK SemiSilent Linear is a mechanical keyboard switch designed to deliver a smooth, quiet, and consistent typing experience. Engineered through the collaboration of industry leaders, it combines high-quality materials with thoughtful features to suit both enthusiasts and everyday users.

Design and Construction

This switch features a carefully selected combination of materials to optimize both performance and acoustics. The polycarbonate top housing and nylon bottom housing work together to dampen sound, while the POM (Polyoxymethylene) stem ensures minimal friction for a fluid keystroke. The result is a semi-silent linear switch that maintains the satisfying feel of a linear switch with reduced noise output.

• Polycarbonate top housing for clarity and durability
• Nylon bottom housing for sound dampening
• POM stem for smooth, low-friction movement

Performance and Typing Experience

The switch is designed to offer a soft yet controlled feel, making it suitable for long typing sessions or extended gaming. With a 62g bottom-out force, each press feels deliberate but not fatiguing. The total travel distance of 3.7mm ensures responsiveness and consistency across every keystroke.

• 62g bottom-out force for balanced actuation
• 3.7mm total travel distance for responsive typing
• Factory-applied light lubrication for enhanced smoothness

Semi-Silent Operation

One of the standout features of this switch is its semi-silent operation. The design minimizes noise without sacrificing the familiar linear feel, making it an excellent choice for shared workspaces, streaming, or late-night use.

• Reduced noise for quieter typing
• Maintains linear switch characteristics

Compatibility and Versatility

The switch is built with versatility in mind. It uses a 5-pin PCB mount design, making it compatible with a wide range of mechanical keyboards. The pins can also be clipped to fit 3-pin boards if needed. Additionally, it supports SMD LEDs, making it suitable for keyboards with RGB lighting.

• 5-pin PCB mount (MX style)
• Compatible with Cherry-style PCBs
• Supports SMD LED integration for RGB keyboards
