Wooting Lekker Switch - Linear 45 (90 pack) 90x Linear 45

Wooting Lekker Switch Linear45 V2 – 90-Pack Lightweight Hall Effect Switches

Lightweight, linear and made for fast inputs

The Wooting Lekker Linear45 V2 are contactless magnetic switches for compatible Hall Effect keyboards such as the models from Wooting. With a starting force of only 30 cN and a final force of 45 cN, the L45 are among the lighter Lekker switches. This is particularly noticeable during long gaming sessions: the fingers have to apply less force and fast, repeated inputs are quite easy. The linear key travel runs evenly over 4 mm - without a tactile bump and without a click mechanism.

Improved V2 Design

The second generation has been revised especially where you actually notice it when typing. Tighter manufacturing tolerances and the adapted housing reduce the lateral wobble of the stem. At the same time, the lubrication has been optimized. The result is a more stable, smoother typing feel and a more pleasant sound. Especially when a Wooting has to spend several hours a day for gaming or working, these are not entirely unimportant details.

Contactless Hall Effect Technology

Unlike a classic mechanical switch, the Lekker L45 does not require metal contacts to detect a keystroke. The magnet in the switch works together with the reverb sensors of the compatible keyboard. As a result, there are no metal contacts or pins that wear out mechanically when pressed repeatedly. The design is designed for up to 100 million keystrokes. Important: The Lekker L45 is intended exclusively for compatible Hall Effect keyboards and does not work in ordinary mechanical hot-swap keyboards.

Light 30–45 cN characteristics

The spring starts at 30 cN and reaches 45 cN when fully pressed. This makes the Switch feel noticeably lighter than heavier variants. This can be really fun, especially when gaming: quick changes of direction, hectic key combinations or longer sessions demand less strength from the fingers. However, the light characteristic also has its downside when typing normally - if you like to park your fingers on the keys, it is a little easier to trigger a key unintentionally.

Materials and construction

A non-magnetic steel spring works inside. The lower case is made of nylon, the transparent upper case is made of polycarbonate and the stem is made of POM. The MX cross stem allows the use of numerous MX-compatible keycaps. The typical yellow color scheme characterizes the Lekker L45 and the transparent upper case allows the illumination of a correspondingly equipped keyboard to pass through.

90 switches including storage container

This variant contains 90 Wooting Lekker Linear45 V2 switches and a practical storage container. This makes the set suitable for a complete switch replacement with a compatible Wooting keyboard or for an individual Hall Effect build, for example. And as we all know, having a few switches on reserve has never bothered anyone during the next conversion.

Conclusion & Recommendation

The Lekker Linear45 V2 Wooting is aimed at those who value a light, smooth, and linear stroke over powerful resistance. The combination of 30-45 cN spring force, contactless Hall Effect technology, and redesigned V2 chassis works particularly well for fast gaming inputs and long sessions. However, if you write a lot and rest very lightly on the keys, keep in mind that the low spring force can encourage accidental inputs. If you're looking for lightweight linear Hall Effect switches for your compatible Wooting keyboard, then you won't go wrong with the Wooting Lekker Linear45 V2.
