Lichicx Wingtree x Pumpkin Silent Tactile

The Lichicx WINGTREE X Pumpkin Silent Tactile is a medium-weight silent tactile switch designed for users who want a pronounced bump without noise. It suits typists and office workers needing clear tactile feedback in quiet environments like shared rooms, streaming setups, or late-night use. This switch offers a large, HP-style bump with minimal sound, making it a good choice if other silent tactiles feel too subtle.

Feel & Sound

• Features a large, sharp tactile bump that is noticeable and distinct during typing.
• Silicone dampening reduces bottom-out and return noise, resulting in a very quiet sound profile.
• Feels punchy but muted, providing tactile feedback without the typical click or clack.

Actuation Characteristics

• Medium operating force of 45g supports a substantial bump without causing fatigue over long sessions.
• Pre-travel of 2.4mm and total travel of 3.6mm means the bump occurs late in the keypress, near bottom-out.
• Bottom-out force at 52g offers a firm but not harsh landing.

Build Quality

• Uses a POM stem for smooth movement and durability.
• Top housing is polycarbonate and bottom housing is nylon, balancing smoothness and resilience.
• Equipped with a 16mm KOS single-stage spring tuned for medium weighting.
• Factory lubed to reduce scratchiness, improving smoothness out of the box.

Compatibility

• Five-pin dustproof stem wall design fits standard PCB-mount keyboards.
• Compatible with most hot-swap and soldered PCB layouts supporting 5-pin switches.

Trade-offs

• The large bump may feel too pronounced for users preferring subtle tactile feedback.
• Pre-travel length means the tactile event occurs relatively late, which might not suit fast typists or gamers.
• Unknown response to additional modifications like filming or re-lubing.
