WEKT XCJZ Green Mustard W Linear Switches

The WEKT XCJZ Green Mustard W Linear switch is a rail bottom-out linear switch suited for users who prefer a smooth, consistent keypress with a longer travel distance. It fits typists and gamers who want a stable, quiet feel without tactile bumps or clicks. The switch aims to preserve its original sound and feel by limiting factory lubrication to the spring and leaf only.

Feel & Sound

• Linear and smooth with no tactile feedback, offering a consistent keystroke.
• Rail bottom-out design reduces stem wobble and stabilizes keypresses.
• Sound profile is relatively clean and unaltered due to minimal lubrication, avoiding lube pooling that can affect feel and noise.
• Bottoming out is firm but controlled, influenced by the upgraded spring.

Actuation Characteristics

• Pre-travel of 2.0mm and total travel of 4.0mm provide a longer keypress distance than many standard switches.
• Operating force around 42g offers moderate resistance, suitable for users who prefer a balanced typing effort.
• Bottom-out force increases to about 55g, giving a noticeable but not harsh bottoming sensation.

Build Quality

• Stem made of POM, known for smooth sliding and durability.
• New POK top housing replaces the previous PAG, potentially affecting sound and feel subtly.
• Bottom housing uses modified PA material, contributing to switch stability.
• Spring upgraded to a 15mm single-stage LW spring, aiming for improved typing consistency.

Factory Lubrication & Modification Potential

• Only the spring and leaf are factory lubed to maintain original sound and avoid lube pooling, which can cause inconsistent feel on rail bottom-out switches.
• Additional lubing of stem rails may improve smoothness but risks altering the intended sound and feel.
• Unknown how well the switch responds to filming or other mods.

Trade-offs

• Limited factory lube means initial feel may be slightly scratchy until broken in or manually lubed.
• Longer travel and bottom-out design may feel slower or less responsive for users seeking fast actuation.
• Minimal pre-lubing can preserve sound but may require extra maintenance for optimal smoothness.

Use Cases

• Good for typists who prefer a smooth, linear feel with a longer travel distance and stable bottom-out.
• Suitable for gamers who want consistent keypresses without tactile interruptions.
• Less ideal for users who prefer tactile or clicky feedback or very short travel switches.
