Womier WD75 Mechanical Keyboard Review @ ThinkComputers

Published: | Posted By:

ThinkComputers sees the Womier WD75 as a very distinctive 75 percent mechanical keyboard whose biggest appeal is its real walnut wood case paired with green translucent keycaps. The board has a strong visual identity and brings an earthy, desk-friendly look even with RGB turned off. In use, it is described as comfortable to type on, with a pleasing, damped sound profile and south-facing RGB that really shows through the translucent caps. Tri-mode connectivity (wired, 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth) works as expected and adds flexibility for different setups, and at around 89.99 US dollars the reviewer feels the pricing is hard to complain about for a real wood, hot-swap board. Overall it earns a 7 out of 10 and is framed as a good value if the aesthetic speaks to you.

"If you didn't know I am a huge keyboard enthusiast and I always love checking out new boards. It is always good to check out what some of the new offerings are, especially from brands that I haven't heard of. One such brand is Womier, who seems to offer keyboards, keycaps, switches, and desk mats. The keyboard that they offered up for review was their WD75. The thing that really caught my attention about this keyboard is that it is made of real walnut wood and has green translucent keycaps! It definitely looks good, but how does it perform? Read on as we find out!"


The review’s main frustration is on the software side. Womier advertises VIA compatibility, but the reviewer could not get the WD75 to connect in either the web-based or standalone VIA apps across three different systems, which effectively kills easy key remapping and macro setup for power users. The translucent keycaps are also a double-edged sword: they look sleek and make the lighting pop, but they pick up shine and fingerprints quickly and may feel a bit odd if you are used to rougher PBT textures, so some users might want to swap them out. Even so, the conclusion is that the core hardware is solid and the negatives are largely tied to caps and configurability, both of which can be changed by the user if needed.
