Matcha Cream Linear & Tactile Switches

Wingtree Matcha Cream Switches: Linear and Light Tactile, 37 g or 50 g

Texture, on purpose

Most modern switches chase one thing: glass-smooth. The Matcha Cream, designed by Zuoce and made by Wingtree, goes the other way. It is built to feel like the old "sand-feel" switches enthusiasts used to hunt down in vintage boards: a faint, dry texture under the finger as the stem travels, and a bright, crisp clack when it lands. Not scratchy in the cheap sense; textured in the way a good pencil on good paper is.

The trick is restraint. The factory lube goes only where it stops unwanted noise: the stem feet and their metal contact, the spring and its seat, and the rib contact points between stem and top housing. Everything else is left dry, so the character stays while the rattle goes.

Pick your press

Linear

A straight, textured press over 3.6 mm of travel with no bump. The slightly shorter travel gives a consistent, continuous bottom-out and a clean rebound, so the clack repeats the same way every time. The one for people who like to feel the switch working without being interrupted by it.

Light Tactile

The same textured feel with a gentle bump near the top of the press and 3.8 mm of travel. The longer travel gives the bump room to breathe and a livelier return than a 4 mm tactile. The one for people who want a nudge of feedback without a heavy, tiring bump.

37 g or 50 g

Both types come in two weights, named by their actuation force. The 37 g version bottoms out at 45 g and is light enough for long writing sessions and fast, flicky gaming. The 50 g version bottoms out at 55 g and gives more resistance to lean on, which many typists prefer because it stops accidental presses and makes the texture easier to feel. Both use a 19 mm spring, so the feel is even through the stroke rather than ramping up at the end.

Housings are a PA66 blend top and bottom, with a POM blend stem. Nylon housings keep the clack bright but rounded rather than thin, and the POM stem is what gives that dry, gliding texture.

Q&A & Specifications

Questions & Answers

Will these fit my keyboard?

They are MX-style switches and fit hot-swap boards with MX sockets, or can be soldered to a standard MX-compatible PCB.

Linear or tactile?

Linear if you like an uninterrupted press and a repeatable sound. Light tactile if you want a small, early bump to confirm each key without the effort of a heavy tactile. Both share the same textured character.

Is "scratchy" a bad thing here?

No. It is the point. The texture is deliberate and even across the switch, with lube only where it quiets noise. If you want a silky, dead-smooth linear, this is not the set; if you miss the feel of vintage boards, it is.

How many do I need?

Count the keys on your board. A 60% needs around 61, a 65% around 67, a 75% around 82 and a TKL 87.
