Frequently asked
Is the Waverider a heavy tactile switch?
It sits in medium territory. Actuation is around 50gf with a bottom-out near 53gf, so the gap between the two is narrow — the bump leads and the bottom-out arrives quickly without a long, heavy push.
Does the Waverider need lube?
No. It ships pre-lubed and feels smooth out of the bag. Most people can run it stock; hand-lubing only refines an already clean travel.
What kind of bump does it have?
A single-stage, rounded tactile bump near the top of the stroke. It is noticeable but not snappy or aggressive, which makes it easy to type on for long sessions.
