I am new to mechanical keyboards, and started with the NuPhy Air 96 v2. I picked up a set of Wisterias, not only because I thought they would be the best for me but also because I wanted the experience of taking out and putting in my own switches. The Wisterias do not disappoint. The sensation is really satisfying and I find it easier than ever before to get writing, whether it’s a single message or a long-form post.

In another review, someone said that there weren’t a hundred switches. In my experience, this is incorrect. I had the same concern at first, but I had all the Wisteria switches I needed to fill all of the Air96 v2 and took out my Brown 2.0s, as shown. Not sure how I operated for so long without these, and highly recommend!

I really love the feel of the Wisterias and they have been in my Air V2 for a long time now .

I generally go for linear switches, but on low profile keyboards it depends.

I have an Air75 V2 and it came with Cowberry Linears. I liked them at first but for some reason they felt heavy and even though the travel specs are low, they felt like they had much longer travel.

I think its because of my expectation of the lower profile keyboard and keyboard. I am used to bottoming out linear switches to get that "tap" that you usually do with linear switches. The cowberry actuation smoothness is "good enough" for short bouts of time. However, while initially feeling good, started to become laborious to type after longer periods of time. I noticed I had to "think" about typing technique more so than just typing like its second nature to me. It was making my finger muscles tense so my hand started to hurt after while.

I type between 130 and 140 WPM. In some setups, I can get to average close to 150 WPM as long as I don't have to focus too much on how my fingers are touching the keys.

Wisteria, even though it has heavier actuation force, both longer pre and total travel than the Cowberry, felt like a very light and fast switch. The tactile bump is very close to the top, so the feedback feels like it has lower latency than the cowberry even though cowberry is technically a faster switch. Travel doesn't feel like the same thing in general when using tactile switches as…
