JWK (aka JWICK) Black Tactile Switches are new budget switches made by one of the most well-known switch manufacturers. This is the R1 version of this switch – please view the newer version of this product: JWK Black V2 Nylon Tactile Switches.
Please note that these are not T1 switches. These are JWK’s newer budget switches, commonly referred to as Black switches or C-Black switches. These feature the same stem as the T1 switches but differ in their housings.

Yes, we only work with the real JWK (Dongguan Jingweike).
Recently, there was an issue where a fake supplier (called "Shenzhen Jingweike") was misrepresenting themselves as the real JWK (called "Dongguan Jingweike"). The real JWK quickly shut them down; however, this whole situation left some doubt regarding authenticity of the switches that are on the market.
JWK released a second round of these switches which include their JWICK (official English name of JWK) logo present on the top housing, to avoid future instances of fakes being introduced. Please note that these switches are from the first round which do not have this logo written - however, these are authentic JWK products.

Yes, we recommend lubing these switches to remove their stock scratchiness. We found using TriboSys 3203, or a lube of similar viscosity, to provide the best feel and sound.
