Switch Sound
The Wuque WS Light Tactile has a neutral sound profile that is neither too thocky nor too clacky. The Wuque WS Light Tactile falls in the mid tones with a poppy bottom out and top out due to its light tactile bump. The bottom out has a soft and creamy sound profile (with its nylon bottom housing material), while the top out has a hard and poppy sound profile (with its PC top housing material). The Wuque WS Light Tactile also still retains a similar snappy tactile sound profile that exists in the Wuque WS Heavy Tactile and other larger-bumped tactile switches, despite its lighter tactile bump. The Wuque WS Light Tactile also feels and sounds closer to a full travel switch since it has a 3.9mm travel distance. The bottom out of the Wuque WS Light Tactile is affected less by the sharp stem pole bottom, that most other tactile switches possess, and is more affected by its tactile bump and its combination of materials. The Wuque WS Light Tactile would be a fun option to try for typists who enjoy the crisp and poppy sound of a tactile switch.
Here is a sound test of the Wuque WS Light Tactile:
Switch Feel
The Wuque WS Light Tactile feels incredibly smooth with its factory lube, espcially for a tactile switch. It feels smooth and also poppy at the same time due to its light but snappy tactile bump. Due to its tight housing tolerances and minimal stem wobble, the majority of the typing experience of the Wuque WS Light Tactile comes from its tactility. This smoothness and snappy responsiveness make the Wuque WS Light Tactile a great choice for a comfortable typing experience.
The Wuque WS Light Tactile also feels comfortable to type on as it has a similar feeling bottom out as full travel switches. Some of the most popular tactile switches in the hobby, such as Gazzew Boba U4T and Invyr Holy Pandas, have a pronounced tactile bump at the initial keypress followed by a short linear post travel until bottoming out. Similarly, the Wuque WS Light Tactile has its tactile bump at the top of the keypress, but where it differentiates itself by having a slightly longer linear post travel. The extra linear post travel after the tactile bump could create a more comfortable typing experience as the bottom out doesn't happen as suddenly as other tactile switches. The Wuque WS Light Tactile would be an interesting tactile switch to try for typists who are used to the feeling of full travel switches.
Things to Note
The Wuque WS Light Tactile comes lightly factory lubricated. And although it provides a smooth typing experience during normal typing sessions, the Wuque WS Light Tactile as a slight scratchy sound when deliberately actuating. Not completely necessary, but the Wuque WS Light Tactile would definitely benefit from hand lubricating.
