WEKT XCJZ Green Mustard Plus Linear Switches

This linear switch suits users who prefer smooth keypresses with a moderate actuation force and a distinctive sound profile. It fits typists or gamers looking for a non-tactile switch that offers a clacky and textured audio experience without strong resonance. Its moderate bottom-out force provides a solid feel without being overly stiff.

Feel & Sound

• Linear and smooth keypress with no tactile bump or click.
• Produces a high-pitched, clacky, and textured sound that is mild and nonresonant, reducing echo or hollow noise.
• Bottom-out force is firm but not harsh, offering a noticeable end to each keystroke.

Actuation Characteristics

• Moderate actuation force of 40g balances responsiveness and fatigue, suitable for extended typing or gaming sessions.
• Pre-travel of 2.0mm allows for deliberate keypresses without feeling overly sensitive.
• Total travel of 4.0mm provides a classic mechanical switch depth, supporting comfortable typing rhythm.

Build Quality

• Top housing made from custom polypropylene (PP) and bottom housing from MPA, materials that influence sound and durability.
• Polyoxymethylene (POM) stem contributes to smooth keystrokes and reduced friction.
• Includes a 16mm single-stage spring, offering consistent resistance throughout the press.
• Factory lubed, which can reduce initial scratchiness and improve smoothness.

Compatibility

• 5-pin PCB mount with MX-compatible stem, compatible with most standard mechanical keyboard PCBs and keycaps.
• Unknown LED compatibility and hot-swap friendliness.

Trade-offs

• Sound profile is clacky and high-pitched, which may be distracting in quiet environments.
• Linear switches lack tactile feedback, which some users may find less engaging or prone to accidental keypresses.
• Unknown long-term durability and break-in characteristics.
