The Womier WD75 V2 Ukiyoe uses real black walnut for its case, rather than a wood-effect finish. That gives it a distinctive appearance and a firm but cushioned typing feel. The fixed angle is a compromise, but the practical 75% layout and Ukiyoe artwork make this an appealing choice if the wood itself is what you’re after.
Basic Package Contents
The contents inside the box are very straightforward. Along with the keyboard body, it includes a manual, a USB-C cable, a 2.4GHz wireless receiver, and a combo-style puller that removes both switches and keycaps. Since the PCB supports hot-swapping, three spare Mint Blizzard switches are provided to prepare for any initial defects or switch failures. Another noticeable accessory is the set of black anti-slip rubber pads.
Stunning Visuals, A Unique Desk Setup Item
The 82-key ANSI layout is both compact and practical. What stands out first is the solid black walnut wood housing. Rather than mimicking a wood texture on plastic or aluminum, it uses actual processed wood, boasting an overwhelming presence.
The caps combine a rounded MOA profile with PBT, dye-sublimated Ukiyoe illustrations, and Japanese sub-legends. It is a colorful treatment, but the traditional artwork feels at home alongside the walnut rather than competing with the material. The choice also makes the board’s priorities clear. There is no knob or screen trying to become the visual centerpiece. Attention stays with the grain of the wood and the illustration across the caps. For someone choosing a wooden keyboard for its character, that restraint in the extra hardware is part of the appeal.

※ What is Ukiyoe?
Ukiyoe is a traditional genre of vibrant genre painting that flourished in Japan during the Edo period from the 17th to the 19th centuries. The fields, boats, and red Mount Fuji painted on the keycaps belong to this artistic style.
Softness Hidden Inside Sturdiness: Internal Structure Design
Structurally, it adopts a tray-mount design. While tray mounts are usually evaluated as having a stiff typing feel, this product uses a non-flex-cut PC plate to absorb shocks smoothly. The 1.2mm FR4 PCB also lacks flex cuts, supporting a firm typing feel.
The interior is densely packed with multiple dampening foams including Poron, IXPE, and PET. This blocks pinging wire noise and hollow cavity resonance. However, it is a bit unfortunate that there are no bottom height-adjustment kickstands, making it impossible to change the angle to suit individual preferences.
Sharp and Sensitive Input: Mint Blizzard Switches
It is equipped with Womier POM Mint Blizzard switches. These are linear switches with factory lubrication applied. The actuation force is very light, meaning they react with just a slight press. While this provides fast response speeds in gaming environments, it can increase typo rates during typing, requiring some getting used to.
The sensitive switches won’t suit everyone. I find the light response better suited to rapid inputs in games than work where accidental presses are a concern.
Connecting Visual Satisfaction to Typing Feel: MOA Keycaps
The MOA profile offers a round and wide typing surface. Combined with the soft tactile feel of the PBT material, it enhances satisfaction during typing. The wider surface area touching your fingertips allows for stable typing.
The illustrated caps look busy at first, but their rounded MOA shape gives the wooden board a playful side. The profile isn’t for everyone, though, and may lead to more typing errors if it doesn’t suit your hands.
Solid and Refined Sound with Minimal Impact on Fingertips
The typing sound is a bit different from expectations. Rather than highlighting the resonance typical of a solid wood housing, multiple dampening foams produce a somewhat muted and refined sound. You might be disappointed if you were expecting the deep resonance of natural wood.
However, pinging sounds and hollow resonance are well controlled. The stabilizers are tuned quite well, though the spacebar is slightly disappointing. On the other hand, thanks to the PC plate, the typing impact felt on your fingertips is surprisingly less fatiguing than expected for a tray-mount keyboard.
Convenience of VIA Support and Large-Capacity Battery
VIA is supported through the browser, which makes remapping and lighting changes convenient once the keyboard is recognized. There is an initial step to know about, though: the board needs its own JSON file loaded. Without it, I couldn’t get recognition working. After that file was in place, the settings became accessible. It is a small practical detail worth recording rather than assuming the browser will immediately know the keyboard. The file is available through the existing download link below, for anyone who needs it for the same setup.
Attachment File
WD75.json
Equipped with a large 8000mAh battery, it can be used for a long time in wireless environments without charging stress. It supports wired 1000Hz, 2.4GHz wireless, and Bluetooth tri-mode connection, allowing intuitive mode switching via the physical toggle switch on the back of the device.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Overwhelming desk setup effect with high-quality real wood finish
- Ukiyoe-style emotional keycaps
- Surprisingly smooth typing feel for a tray mount
- Convenient key mapping with VIA support
Cons
- No bottom kickstands for adjusting the typing angle
- Typing sound lacks natural wood resonance due to dampening
- MOA profile keycaps (other options like PC Green or Black use Cherry profile)
Interested in Buying This Product?
This is a board for someone who specifically wants real wood on the desk. The Womier WD75 V2 Ukiyoe combines that warmth and individual grain with practical improvements aimed at the cracking issues of solid-wood keyboards. If its smaller compromises are acceptable, it offers an enjoyable way to make the material the focus of a setup.
