Quick Summary

The Yellow 47g is Wuque’s value linear — a light, factory-lubed switch with an all-nylon housing and a POM partial-box stem. It delivers a deep, muted sound and a smooth glide for very little money, making it an easy choice when you need a full board’s worth of linears without breaking the budget. The light weight keeps typing quick and unfatiguing.

Specs and Feel

Actuation lands around 47g (±5gf) with a 53g bottom-out, over 2.0mm of pre-travel and 3.8mm of total travel on a 55g 22mm double-stage spring. The nylon top and bottom housing is what gives the Yellow its deeper, medium-thocky voice — nylon absorbs the higher frequencies a polycarbonate housing would let ring out. The POM partial-box stem reduces wobble and slides cleanly, and the factory lube keeps scratch low. The double-stage spring gives a brisk, lively return despite the light weight.

Tuning

Good stock for a budget switch. The factory lube covers the basics, so they are usable straight from the bag. Because price is the appeal, most people will skip a teardown — but if you want to refine, a thin film tightens the housing and a stem-lube pass adds a touch more smoothness. They take well to a heavier spring swap if 47g feels too light under your fingers.

Verdict

Buy the Yellow 47g if you want a cheap, light, deep-sounding linear to fill a board without fuss. It is the budget counterpart to Wuque’s pricier Quartz and Morandi — you give up some polish and material refinement, but the core nylon-linear feel is there at a fraction of the cost. For a brighter sound at a small premium, step up to the Quartz 55g.
