Wingtree
Wingtree is a Chinese switch manufacturer with one of the widest ranges in this index, much of it made to the specification of outside design studios such as WJBY, Ruben and XLLAB, and a line of silent switches made with Lichicx. Its switches are stocked by shops in the US, Canada, Europe, Southeast Asia and Australia.

What to know
- Makes
- Switches
- Known for
- Custom switches built for independent design studios, and the Lichicx silent line, whose silencer is built into the stem.
- Worth knowing
- Many Wingtree switches are sold in several spring weights under one name, so the weight has to be chosen at the shop. A wingtree.store domain resolves but is geo-blocked from here, so it could not be confirmed as the brand's and is not linked.
- Who it suits
- Anyone who wants a specific, unusual combination, such as a light silent linear or a very short tactile, at a stock-switch price.
- Availability
- Widely stocked
- Price band
- Budget, averaged per switch across the 34 switch prices recorded here
- Relationships
- Makes switches to the specification of design studios including WJBY, Ruben Studio, XLLAB, Xida Studio, Zuoce Studio and SULAB, and produces the silent line with Lichicx.

Wingtree
Linear42 gfFactory-lubed≈ $3.50 / 10
Wingtree's first switch built to an outside studio's specification: WJBY set the molds, the material blend and the lube, where earlier Wingtree switches were stock designs. A PC top over a PA66 bottom, a modified UPE stem, 42 gf actuation and 52 gf bottom-out across 3.6 mm of travel. It is the most widely stocked Wingtree linear checked for this index, sold in five markets. At 42 gf it is mid-weight, noticeably heavier than the 37 gf Coral.

Wingtree
Linear45 gfFactory-lubed≈ $3.50 / 10
A thocky-leaning linear with a PC top, a PA66 bottom and a UPE stem, on a 22 mm single-stage spring that gives 45 gf actuation and 53 gf bottom-out over 3.6 mm. Designed by Hitune on one of Wingtree's newer molds. Only one of the shops checked for this index sells it, so it is harder to buy locally than most Wingtree linears.

Wingtree
Tactile42 gfFactory-lubed≈ $3.50 / 10
A short tactile with a P-shaped bump and a heavy 62 gf bottom-out against 42 gf actuation, over 3.3 mm of travel. PC top, PA66 bottom and a modified UPE stem with the rounded tip Wingtree uses on its long-pole tactiles. The gap between actuation and bottom-out is wide, so it suits people who type hard; light typists may find the end of the stroke stiff.

Wingtree
Tactile50 gfFactory-lubed≈ $5.76 / 18
The shorter, higher-pitched sibling of the BM10. The bottom housing swaps PA66 for PC with fiberglass, and total travel drops to 2.9 mm, with 50 gf actuation and 56 gf bottom-out on a 20 mm spring. At that travel the bump and the bottom arrive close together. If you are used to 4 mm switches, try a few before filling a board: 2.9 mm feels abrupt at first.

Wingtree
Linear≈ $5.76 / 18
A full-travel, long-pole linear designed by Wuhai Studio: 4.0 mm in total, 2.0 mm to actuation, PA66 top and bottom, and a modified POM stem with a flat tip. It comes in several spring weights, from 48 gf to 58 gf bottom-out, and either factory lubed or dry, so the force and lubrication fields are left blank here. Check which weight and finish you are ordering.

Wingtree
Linear37 gfFactory-lubed≈ $3.50 / 10
A light, short linear built for fast typing: 1.4 mm to actuation, 3.4 mm in total, 37 gf actuation and 43 gf bottom-out. PC top, a PA66 bottom with fiberglass, and a UPE stem, designed by Ruben Studio. The 1.4 mm actuation point is shallow enough that resting fingers can trigger keys, so heavy-handed typists may be better served by the 277 or the VDV.

Wingtree
LinearFactory-lubed≈ $5.76 / 18
A linear on a revised version of the mold behind Wingtree's Yuying Black, designed by YG Studio: PA66 top and bottom, a modified POM stem, 2.0 mm to actuation and 3.6 mm in total. It is sold in 42, 47 and 55 gf bottom-out at the same price, so the force fields are blank. The feel is deliberately a little scratchy rather than smooth, which is the thing to know before buying.
View → 
Wingtree
Tactile37 gfFactory-lubed≈ $4.20 / 10
A tactile with a light-to-medium bump and a lightly grainy feel, according to the one shop checked that sells it. Nylon top and bottom, 37 gf actuation and 3.8 mm of travel, factory lubed. Bottom-out force, pre-travel and stem material are not published there, so those fields are blank rather than estimated. Among the shops checked for this index, only one US retailer stocks it.

Wingtree
Tactile45 gfFactory-lubed≈ $6.84 / 18
A tactile with a PC top, a PEI bottom that gives it the gold colour, and an LY stem, the first Wingtree switch to use one. Actuation is 45 gf and bottom-out 53 gf over a short 3.3 mm of travel, so the bump and the bottom arrive close together. Factory lubed, lightly on the stem legs and with dry film on the spring. Some shops list it as Golden Apple V2 PEI; it is the same switch. Try it before a full set if you are used to 4 mm travel.

Wingtree
Linear45 gfFactory-lubed≈ $3.50 / 10
A lively linear designed by Shu: PC top, PA66 bottom, a UPE stem, and 45 gf actuation with 50 gf bottom-out on a 20 mm single-stage spring, over 3.6 mm. The small gap between actuation and bottom-out gives it a light, bouncy return. Of the shops checked, only an international store and a Canadian one carry it, so buyers elsewhere are ordering from abroad.

Wingtree
Linear40 gfFactory-lubed
A linear with a PC top, a PA66 bottom and an LY stem, with 40 gf actuation and 45 gf bottom-out over a short 3.3 mm of travel. That combination makes it one of the lighter and shorter Wingtree linears in this index. No US-dollar price was found at the shops checked, and only Thai and German retailers stock it.

Wingtree
TactileFactory-lubed≈ $3.50 / 10
The tactile version of the Matcha Cream, also by Zuoce Studio: a light bump, a PA66-blend housing, a POM-blend stem, 2.0 mm to actuation and 3.8 mm in total. The lube is applied sparingly to keep the scratchy character while controlling noise. Two spring weights, 45 gf and 55 gf bottom-out, so the force fields are blank. The bump is light; for a strong tactile, look at the BM10 or the Yunie Tactile.

Wingtree
LinearFactory-lubed≈ $3.50 / 10
A factory-lubed linear designed by Zuoce Studio to keep the texture and sound of an older sandy-feeling switch rather than smoothing them away. PA66-blend housing, a POM-blend stem, 2.0 mm to actuation and 3.6 mm in total on a 19 mm spring. Sold in two weights, 45 gf and 55 gf bottom-out, so the force fields are blank. It is textured on purpose; look elsewhere for a glassy-smooth linear.

Wingtree
Linear≈ $3.50 / 10
A full-travel, long-pole linear designed by Xida Studio, with fiberglass-filled PA66 top and bottom, a POM stem and 4.0 mm of travel. It uses Wingtree's textured mold, so the stroke is deliberately scratchy and the sound bright. It is sold in several weights, both lubed and dry, and the two sources disagree on the spring, so force and lubrication are left blank. Check the variant before ordering.

Wingtree
TactileFactory-lubed≈ $3.50 / 10
Wingtree's first custom light tactile, designed by SULAB on new molds rather than those of the Yuying Brown. PA66 housings with fiberglass, 10 percent in the top and 30 percent in the bottom, a POM stem, 2.4 mm to actuation and a full 4.0 mm in total. Sold in 48, 52 and 58 gf bottom-out, so the force fields are blank. A silent Puer Tea also exists and is a different switch.

Wingtree
Tactile37 gfFactory-lubed≈ $3.99 / 10
A tactile with a gentle bump, a textured, grainy feel and a full 4.0 mm of travel, with a light 37 gf actuation and 46 gf bottom-out. Nylon top and bottom, factory lubed. Pre-travel and stem material are not published by the one shop checked, so those fields are blank. A German retailer sells a 4 mm Wingtree Purple Sprout Tea that may be the same switch; that could not be confirmed.

Wingtree
TactileFactory-lubed≈ $5.76 / 18
A tactile designed by Ruben Studio with a full PC housing and a UPE stem, 2.4 mm to actuation and 3.3 mm in total, leaning thocky rather than bright. Actuation and bottom-out are left blank because the two sources disagree: Divinikey lists 38 gf and 56 gf, Unikeyboards 45 gf and 55 gf. Treat both as unconfirmed until the maker publishes one figure.

Wingtree
Tactile42 gf≈ $6.30 / 18
A tactile at 42 gf actuation and 50 gf bottom-out, with the longest travel in this batch at a full 4.0 mm and a short 1.8 mm to the bump. All-nylon housing. The Light in the name is relative to the rest of the Torrero range rather than to tactiles generally: 42 gf is mid-weight for a tactile.

Wingtree
LinearFactory-lubed≈ $3.50 / 10
A light linear designed by Xida Studio, notable for a light diffuser in the top housing that spreads RGB lighting. PC top, PA66 bottom, UPE stem, 1.8 mm to actuation and 3.6 mm in total. Unikeyboards sells very light weights, 32 gf and 43 gf bottom-out, while Keybay lists 50 gf, so the force fields are blank. Check the weight before ordering.

Wingtree
Linear37 gf
A Chiikawa-themed linear with a PC top, a PA66 microfiber bottom, 1.8 mm to actuation and 3.6 mm in total, and 37 gf actuation with 43 gf bottom-out on a 20 mm KOS spring. Light and short, so it will feel quick and easy to trigger. Stem material and lubrication are not stated by the only shop found selling it, in Indonesia, and no US-dollar price was found.

Wingtree
Linear40 gfFactory-lubed≈ $3.50 / 10
An everyday linear from Wingtree's own range: PA66 top and bottom, a POM stem, 40 gf actuation and 55 gf bottom-out over 3.7 mm, factory lubed. Its published specification is identical to the Yuying Linear's, figure for figure. Nothing in it is unusual, which makes it a sensible first custom linear, and it is stocked in the US, in Europe and internationally.

Wingtree
LinearSilentFactory-lubed≈ $4 / 10
A silent linear on the Lichicx silencing design, with a silicone silencer built into the stem rather than separate dampening pads. PC top, modified PA66 bottom, 2.0 mm to actuation and 3.8 mm in total. It is sold in two spring weights, 45 gf and 53 gf bottom-out, so the force figures are left blank here: pick the weight on the product page. Designed by Black Cat Studio.
View → 
Wingtree
Tactile40 gfSilentFactory-lubed≈ $4 / 10
A silent light tactile from the Wingtree and Lichicx line: silicone dampening quiets both the bottom-out and the return while keeping a soft bump. PC top, nylon bottom, POM stem, 40 gf actuation and 55 gf bottom-out on a 16 mm spring, over 3.6 mm. Silent tactiles trade crispness for quiet, so the bump reads softer than on an undamped switch with the same figures.
View → 
Wingtree
Linear35 gfSilentFactory-lubed≈ $6.84 / 18
A silent linear at 35 gf actuation and 45 gf bottom-out, factory lubed, 3.8 mm of travel. Silencing is done with silicone on the stem, so both the bottom-out and the return are damped, and the switch gives up some of the crispness a non-silent linear has in exchange. Light and quiet is a shared office combination rather than a sound-test one.
View → 
Wingtree
Tactile45 gfSilentFactory-lubed≈ $4 / 10
A silent tactile with a large, HP-style bump, from the Wingtree and Lichicx line. Silicone dampening removes the bottom-out and return noise while the bump stays pronounced. PC top, nylon bottom, POM stem, 45 gf actuation and 52 gf bottom-out on a 16 mm spring over 3.6 mm. The bump is big for a silent switch, which makes it a poor pick for anyone after a subtle tactile.
View → 
Wingtree
Linear40 gfSilentFactory-lubed≈ $4 / 10
A light, short silent linear from the Wingtree and Lichicx line, with silicone dampening on the stem to quiet the bottom-out and the return. PC top, nylon bottom, POM stem, 40 gf actuation and 48 gf bottom-out, and only 2.9 mm of total travel on a 20 mm spring. Short travel plus damping makes each press shallow and soft: quiet, but it can feel mushy to fast typists.

Wingtree
Tactile45 gfSilentFactory-lubed≈ $4.20 / 10
A silent tactile designed by XLLAB with Lichicx: a refined bump, silicone dampening, a PC top, a PA66 bottom and a POM stem. It has 45 gf actuation and 53 gf bottom-out on a 22 mm spring over 3.8 mm, factory lubed with a mix of GPL 105 and 205. It is quiet enough for shared spaces, but the damping takes some of the sharpness off the bump compared with an undamped tactile.
View → 
Wingtree
TactileSilentFactory-lubed≈ $4 / 10
A silent tactile on the classic Lichicx silent mold, designed by XLLAB, with a small bump and a silicone silencer in the stem. PC top, modified PA66 bottom, 2.0 mm to actuation and 3.8 mm in total. It is sold in 42 gf and 53 gf bottom-out, so the force fields are blank. The bump is small; anyone who wants obvious tactile feedback should look at the Taro or the Pumpkin instead.

Wingtree
LinearSilentFactory-lubed≈ $4.89 / 10
A silent linear on the Lichicx design, with a silicone silencer built into the stem and a newer top-housing mold. PC top, modified PA66 bottom, 2.0 mm to actuation and 3.8 mm in total, designed by XLLAB. It is sold in 42 gf and 53 gf bottom-out, so force is blank here. At 4.89 dollars for ten it costs more per switch than any other Wingtree switch priced in this index.

Wingtree
Linear45 gfFactory-lubed≈ $4 / 10
A Hall effect magnetic linear: PC top, PA66 bottom, POM stem, 45 gf actuation and 55 gf bottom-out over 3.6 mm, factory lubed. On a compatible magnetic board the actuation point is adjustable and rapid trigger is available. It will not register on an ordinary mechanical hot-swap board, which reads a metal contact leaf this switch does not have, so check your board first.

Wingtree
LinearFactory-lubed≈ $3.50 / 10
One of Wingtree's stock linears, with a thocky, clean sound, a light diffuser in the PC top, a PA66 bottom and a UPE stem, 1.8 mm to actuation and 3.5 mm in total. It is sold in two weights, 50 gf and 60 gf bottom-out, plus a hand-lubed option with longer springs, so the force fields are blank. The factory-lubed version is the one priced here.
View → 
Wingtree
TactileFactory-lubed≈ $3.50 / 10
A tactile with a large P-shaped bump that takes up most of the travel and ends in a very short linear stretch. Full PC housing, a UPE stem, 2.2 mm to actuation and 3.2 mm in total. It is sold in 60 gf and 63.5 gf bottom-out, plus a hand-lubed option, so force is blank. The bump is strong and the travel short, a combination light typists may find tiring over a long session.

Wingtree
Tactile45 gfFactory-lubed≈ $3.50 / 10
A light tactile with a small bump in the manner of an MX Brown, on a long-pole stem that gives it a clacky sound. PA66 top and bottom, a POM stem, 45 gf actuation and 58 gf bottom-out, 2.4 mm to actuation and 3.7 mm in total, factory lubed. Two shops publish identical figures for it. If you want a pronounced bump, this is the wrong switch.

Wingtree
Linear40 gfFactory-lubed≈ $3.50 / 10
A plain, dependable Wingtree linear: PA66 top and bottom, a POM stem, 40 gf actuation and 55 gf bottom-out over 3.7 mm, factory lubed. Its published specification is identical to the VDV's. Also sold hand-lubed with longer springs at a higher price; the factory-lubed version is the one priced here. Stocked internationally and in Australia and New Zealand.

Wingtree
Tactile42 gfFactory-lubed≈ $3.50 / 10
The tactile version of the Yuying V2, on the same textured molds, so it is scratchy and clacky by design. PA66 top and bottom, a POM stem, 42 gf actuation and 50 gf bottom-out, 1.8 mm to actuation and 3.8 mm in total, factory lubed. Its bump is light; anyone wanting a strong tactile should look at the Yunie Tactile or the BM10.
View → 
Wingtree
Linear42 gfFactory-lubed≈ $3.50 / 10
The second version of the Yuying linear, on Wingtree's newer textured housing and stem molds, so the stroke is deliberately scratchy and the sound clacky. PA66 top and bottom, a POM stem, 42 gf actuation and 50 gf bottom-out, 1.8 mm to actuation and 3.8 mm in total, factory lubed. Buy the original Yuying Linear instead if you want a smoother press.
