Lichicx Wingtree x Yoghurt Silent Linear

The Wingtree x Lichicx Yoghurt Silent Linear is a quiet, smooth linear switch designed for users who want minimal typing noise without the typical soft or mushy feel of many silent switches. It suits office workers or anyone needing a discreet keyboard experience with clear keypress feedback and enhanced RGB lighting effects.

Feel & Sound

• Provides a smooth, linear keystroke without tactile bumps or clicks.
• Integrated silicone silencer reduces noise on both bottom-out and top-out, resulting in a very quiet typing experience.
• Maintains a defined and clean keypress feel, avoiding the mushiness common in many silent switches.

Actuation Characteristics

• Light operating force supports comfortable, low-effort typing over long sessions.
• Pre-travel and total travel distances are standard, offering familiar key travel depth.
• Bottom-out feel is soft yet precise due to silencing technology, reducing finger fatigue.

Build Quality

• Top housing made from polycarbonate enhances smoothness and durability.
• Bottom housing uses nylon (PA66), contributing to overall stability.
• Stem combines modified POM with integrated silicone silencer for noise reduction and consistent feel.
• Factory lubed, which helps reduce friction and scratchiness, improving initial smoothness.

Compatibility & Lighting

• Five-pin design supports secure PCB mounting.
• Includes an LED diffuser in the top housing, improving RGB lighting uniformity.

Trade-offs

• As a silent linear switch, it lacks tactile feedback, which may not suit users who prefer noticeable keypress confirmation.
• Unknown how it performs with additional modifications like re-lubing or filming.
• May not provide the "thocky" sound some typists prefer due to its silencing features.
