The Unikeys Waves switches are one of BSUN's few rail bottom-out full travel switches. Both the stem and the housings are manufactured using BSUN's most recent moldings; The Stem wobble is minimal while smoothness is guaranteed. Each keystroke is precise and pleasant.
The stem comes with the same material as the Jade Rosales switches, and the housing is fully made of POM. Such material choices make the overall sound profile medium-pitched with a medium volume. They are not as loud and clacky as HMX Snow Crash switches but not muted and dull either. Expect them to be a rail bottom-out switch that comes with the classic BSUN sound signature.
To prevent the lube pooling issue, only the upper section of the stem sliders are lubed with 205g0. Stem legs and the lower section of stem sliders are dry. The lube on the stem sliders will spread evenly after use and become a thin coat that covers the sliders. Springs are lubed with dry-film.
Disclaimer: As the Waves switches only come with lubed stem sliders, and the stem legs and leaf are dry, there might be some slight noise when the switches actuate (Stem legs making contact with the leaf). Applying a very thin coat of lube on either the stem legs or the leaf will help eliminating the noise.

My switches got lost during shipping, but Unikeys sent me a new batch for free immediately—really amazing service! Special thanks to Dashan. This isn't the first time they've assisted me and answered my questions. Now I'm just waiting for the new batch to arrive so I can do a real testing review.

these switches are... interesting. i really love the sound they produce, but they also feel heavier than i thought theyd be given the information provided. sometimes they have a mushy feel, especially if typing slower or lighter.

These switches have a major design flaw where they randomly bottom out on the stem- not the rails! They feel mushy and produce a highly inconsistent sound. Strongly recommend passing on these.

Me gustan mucho, los he montado en un neo65 con foam y suena bien.

I took a chance on the UniKeys x BSUN Waves Rail Bottom-Out Linear Switches, and I couldn’t be happier that I did. These switches completely exceeded my expectations. From the first few keystrokes, I was genuinely surprised at how satisfying they felt and sounded.
The smoothness is top-tier, and the rail bottom-out design adds a unique and refined feel to every press. What truly caught me off guard was the sound profile—deep, clean, and subtly thocky in the most pleasing way. It’s the kind of switch that makes you want to keep typing just for the experience.
This was a bit of a leap for me, but it turned out to be surprisingly good decision I’ve made. The Waves switches have earned a permanent place in my collection, and I’ll definitely be keeping my eye on future UniKeys collaborations.

I didn’t expect it to be so heavy but it still sounds very good and poppy

Interesting switch that took some time to get used to due to the rail bottom-out feel. Definitely feels heavier (agreed with the other review that it feels closer to 60g) so it's something to be mindful of! Really nice deep sound signature, sound thocky on my QK75.

A very unique, and interesting linear switch. Easily become one of my all time favorites!
Desten M.5/5Verified
Feel smooth and sounds good, but the actuation force feels FAR higher than it's listed to be. It feels like 60g+ instead of 48g. Not a fault of the description but down to the rail bottom out design. A nice switch just not what I was looking for.

Works perfect.

Design flaw of this switch is that if you were to press the top part of the key, it produces a weird, mushy feeling bottom out as if the legs are bottoming out instead together with a silenced sound which is not pleasing at all. However, when the bottom of the key is pressed, the switch bottoms out just fine and has a really nice subtle poppy sound to it. It's a shame as this could've been a really good switch.
