    Been waiting on this one for a while! The Morandi is definitely one of my favorite switches, I have it in pretty much all of my louder boards due to the creamy nature and sound with my other linear being the Cream Black Pro V3 on more muted boards to bring out some clack. I'm not sure if you have tried the WS Heavy Tactiles yet but they are pretty amazing as well. Definitely a different feel from the Anubis, which I'm really enjoying as well from your suggestion, but I love typing on them as well. I couldn't agree more with your assessment on the Morandi and it was great to hear them with the other key cap profiles!

    Curious what you'd think about the HC Studio/BSUN Roselle. Was looking at getting the Morandis, but I picked up the Roselles because of the lighter weight. Very smooth, very thocky, even with the light spring.

    Thanks! I just heard about these and with your endorsement, I may look for a good place to pick up a pack. (Does Wuque do sales on their site?) The switches I have that feel good to type on lean toward the clackier sound profile, which is fine, but it’d be nice to have a good-typing switch in a thockier profile to switch things up.

    I have them in my Zoom75 on PC plate. They are super smooth, but they are a little muted for my taste.
    I totally get the hype for them though.

    Really surprised to see the Noise level on these as everyone seems to mention them as being a little quieter along the lines of Oil King switches. Was considering getting these for my work keyboard and now I'm starting to wonder if there's something similar but more subdued in volume.

      ​@@konikop11 I ended up going with the WS Morandi to try out and I'm pretty happy with them. Need to replace the stabilizers on the board now tho with shorter travel on the switch.
      The volume is on par with the switches that were in my board previously, Gateron Jupiter Red, just with a more pleasant sound profile so I'm good with them. Tried the WS Silent Linear switches as well and while I enjoyed them they felt a little... scratchy?

    Got these in my qk75v2 and absolutely love the sound profile - creamy and a soft thock that’s not too loud. I prefer this over the oil kings in terms of sound but I’m still getting used to the wobble though.
    Anyone has alternative recommendations for something very close to this but with less stem wobble?
