Lichicx WingTree x Yogurt Silent Linear Switches

This silent linear switch is designed for users who want a quiet, smooth keystroke with a clean bottom-out feel. It suits office workers or typists needing low noise without tactile feedback. The integrated silicone silencer reduces sound while maintaining a consistent keypress experience.

Feel & Sound

• Linear and smooth, with no tactile bump or click, providing a consistent keystroke.
• Integrated silicone silencer reduces noise on bottom-out and upstroke, making it quieter than typical linear switches.
• Bottoming out feels clean and controlled, avoiding harsh or sharp impacts.

Actuation Characteristics

• Light actuation force supports comfortable typing with less finger fatigue.
• Pre-travel of 2mm and total travel of 3.8mm offer a moderate key travel distance, balancing speed and feedback.
• Bottom-out force slightly higher than actuation force, providing a subtle resistance before full press.

Build Quality

• Stem made of POM with integrated silicone silencer, combining smoothness with noise reduction.
• Top housing uses polycarbonate for durability and sound tuning.
• Bottom housing is modified PA66, a nylon variant, contributing to switch stability.
• Factory lubed to reduce initial scratchiness, improving smoothness out of the box.

Compatibility & Modification

• PCB mount with 5-pin design, compatible with most standard mechanical keyboard PCBs.
• Factory lube reduces need for immediate relubing, but additional lubing or filming may further smooth the feel.

Trade-offs

• Linear design lacks tactile feedback, which may be less satisfying for users who prefer bumps or clicks.
• Silicone silencer integration may slightly alter stem feel compared to standard linear switches.
• Unknown long-term durability and spring ping characteristics.
