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. | Produced with a new mold by GEONWORKS, Raw Zero is a low-pitch linear switch with close-to-zero-wobble. It's the very first one in the market! Due to zero wobble, it may feel heavier than it is, but the more you type with it the softer it will get geon.works. |
