Comments on Wingtree Nezuko switches | Comments on Alpaca V2 switches |
The WingTree Nezuko linear switch is a full-travel, long-pole linear switch designed by Xida Studio and manufactured by Wingtree. Nezuko features Wingtree's latest optimized textured mold, delivering a stronger, more consistent scratchy typing experience than previous generations. The combination of a PA66 fiberglass-reinforced housing and POM stem creates a dense yet refined scratch profile that feels crisp, responsive, and highly textured without being rough or unpleasant. On the acoustic side, Nezuko produces a bright and clean sandy sound signature with prominent scratch throughout the keypress. The bottom-out is crisp, concentrated, and rich in mid-to-high pitch sound. Each switch is available in both factory-lubed and dry configurations. The factory-lubed version offers improved smoothness and consistency, while the dry version only comes with a factory-lubed spring and leaf, preserving the maximum amount of scratch and sandy feedback for enthusiasts seeking the strongest texture possible. FYI: Wingtree's 4.0 full-travel textured mold used in Nezuko will remain exclusive throughout 2026 and will not be made available to new studios – Unikeys. | Alpacas are smooth linear switches with gold plated 62g springs (bottom out). Colors are based on the SA Bliss colorway brought to us by Minterly – PrimeKB. Alpaca switches are an incredibly smooth linear switch manufactured by Durock and with colours based on the SA Bliss colourway by Minterly.
