The WingTree Camellia linear switch is a full-travel, long-pole linear switch designed by Wuhai Studio and manufactured by Wingtree. The Camellia switch features an all-new mold that's developed based on the previous mold Wingtree Yuying Black switches used. After the mold design modifications, Camellia now sounds cleaner, less noisy, and more concentrated at the bottom out; The scratchy feel has also been improved, which is still grainy but much more refined. Each switch comes factory lubed, with a thin layer of Krytox 205g0 applied to the stem legs and sliders, while the spring and leaf are also lubricated to ensure a smooth, consistent feel right out of the box. FYI: If you are looking for maximum scratch, please choose the dry options which only comes with factory-lubed leaf and spring – Unikeys. | The Gateron Sage linear switch is Unikeys and Mori's first Gateron custom switch project. It all started with a frankenswitch where Mori put a Sea Salt Smoothie stem into KS-3 Milky Yellow Pro housing; The frankenswitch sounded and felt awesome which gave us the idea to create the Sage switch. In short, we used the Sea Salt Smoothie POM stem and KS-3 Milky Yellow Pro housing mold; This mold and material combination creates: a thocky and satisfying sound signature; a smooth travel, similar to all Gateron switches, but with less stem wobble; a solid bottom out feel since this is a long pole switch. We understood how Gateron factory lube could be troublesome, that's why we asked Gateron to dial down on the amount of lube they use – Unikeys. |
