KBDiy Rosewood Keyboard Switch for Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, 5-Pin 40gf Linear Switches (35pcs)

These switches blew my expectations out of the water for how cheap it is! This is a light linear switch, 37g actuation according to Aliexpress product info but it feels a bit heavier than that in my opinion. It has a nice mid-lower poppy sound profile, similar to MMD Matcha Ice Cream V3. It's even smoother than the Matcha Ice creams though--these are the smoothest switches I've tried out of the box. FYI b/c of the housing the RGB will be tinted pink (similar to Akko creamy purple pros) so if your set up needs accurate RGB color this may not be the best choice.

I ordered these to change out my current "milk" 40g linear switches, but these are noticeably heavier and require more force to press. I don't know if my current switches are lighter than 40g, or these are heavier. Although I'm an amateur in the mechanical keyboard hobby so there's probably something in the specs I'm not understanding that explains it. I tested it out on a few keys, and the sound is smooth and deep, but I prefer how fast my current switches are so I didn't switch out the whole keyboard. The color has a strong effect on the keyboard lighting, especially if the switches are visible. I use a custom mint green lighting effect, but with the pink switches completely overrides it, as shown in my photo. It cancels out any green lighting, and makes pink lighting look more intense, and overrides lighter colors as well. It's something to keep in mind depending on the aesthetic you're going for. Overall I think these are decent, smooth sounding switches, that are a little heavier than the 40g might make you think. The price is fair, I would have to buy 2 sets to fill my 68% keyboard if I wanted to completely change it.

I can't believe how great these feel, how good they sound, and how pretty they are... and after all that they're budget friendly. Love these, I keep ordering more, they sound great on all my different builds.

Did not sound as good as I was hoping. Cheap for a reason.

easy to solder and worked great! would recommend them

When I saw these Wisteria switches, I mistakenly thought they were just Epomaker Wisteria switches being sold under the KBDiy brand name. There are plenty of resellers out there, so that would make sense, especially given the fact that they look identical in photos. Welp, they are absolutely NOT the same switch. I just so happened to have Epomaker Wisterias (both linear and tactile) in my switch collection, so I pulled those out and immediately noticed some differences. Looks: In my photos, you can see the KBDiy switch on the left and Epomaker on the right. The colors are slightly different, but they're quite similar in their overall look. The Epomaker switch has a light diffuser, and the KBDiy does not. Both are a pleasant purple and green, but if you care about RGB, the light doesn't come through the KBDiy Wisterias quite as nicely as they do the Epomakers. Feel: These switches are very smooth right out of the box and I wouldn't bother to hand lube them, unless you're obsessive about hand lubing all of your switches. Of course, I think hand lubing generally makes switches feel and sound a bit better, but sometimes it's a case of diminishing returns. Actuation force on these switches is quite light, so they're good for typists who aren't heavy handed. If you tend to rest your fingers on the switches, you might find them accidentally actuating. The KBDiy Wisterias feel snappier overall, and not that the Epomaker Wisterias are sluggish or overlubed feeling, but they do return just a hair slower in comparison. Sound: The KBDiy Wisterias are very poppy and bright with a super pleasant clack to them. The Epomaker Wisterias have a smooth, marbly sound that is a bit deeper and more creamy. The sound of these switches is VERY different, and these KBDiy Wisteria switches are definitely more my preference. You can hear the differences pretty clearly in the video I included, but in person, the difference is even more pronounced (KBDiy is on the left, and Epomaker is on the right). Would I buy these again? Absolutely. In fact, I liked these so much better than the Epomaker Wisterias that I bought 2 more boxes so that I can mount them in a full keyboard. That poppy clack is SO satisfying and the switches feel so nice, smooth and responsive that typing on them is addictive.

These switches are quite nice! They’re “silent” linear switches that are incredibly smooth. There’s no tactile feel, and they’re very quick. They feel VERY similar to speed silvers, if you’re familiar, but at a fraction of the cost. If you want a high quality key switch with very little sound, a quick actuation, and no feedback, these are for you!

these are a nice and smooth switch. good tactile bump. I took one apart to check out the lube job. there was a single dab on both rails. it wasn't the best job, but it wasn't the worst job either. if you care about lubing, then you'd want to do this on your own. for me, this wouldn't bother me.
