Editorial Review
Tecsee has carved a niche building switches that challenge conventional wisdom about what budget switches can do. The Anubis is their light tactile offering — a 43g actuation switch with a UHMWPE stem in a Polycarbonate housing that delivers a smooth, understated tactile bump at a price that makes most enthusiasts do a double-take.
The tactile bump on the Anubis is genuinely light. At 43g actuation with a modest bump, this is a switch for users who want just enough tactile feedback to know when a key has registered, without the pronounced bump of a Boba U4T or Holy Panda X. Think of it as a significantly improved Cherry MX Brown — same general idea, executed with far better materials and tighter tolerances.
UHMWPE stem on a PC housing is an interesting combination. UHMWPE provides low friction through the travel while PC housing produces a brighter, higher-pitched sound than Nylon or POM alternatives. The result is a light, airy tactile that sounds more refined than its price suggests. The bump is smooth rather than sharp — it rounds into existence and fades rather than snapping in and out.
For office environments, the Anubis is excellent. Light enough to reduce fatigue, tactile enough to reduce typos, and quiet enough in most builds to avoid bothering colleagues. The PC housing keeps the sound from getting overly deep or resonant, which actually helps in open offices where a thocky switch would be more noticeable.
Lubing the Anubis requires the standard tactile caution: apply lube to the stem rails only, avoiding the bump legs. A light coat of 3203 or 3204 works better than 205g0 here, as the already-smooth UHMWPE stem does not need heavy lube to feel good. The light bump is sensitive to over-lubing and will disappear almost entirely if you coat the bump area.

Where This Switch Fits
At 43g actuation, the Tecsee Anubis is the lightest tactile switch on this list — noticeably lighter than the Cherry MX Brown's 45g, and well below the 62g-67g range occupied by the Boba U4T, Durock T1, and Holy Panda X. Combined with a UHMWPE stem in a Polycarbonate housing, that light spring produces the "Smooth Light Bump" sound profile in the spec table, aimed at typists who want tactile feedback without much resistance behind it.
Against the Cherry MX Brown, its nearest weight comparison, the Anubis trades brand familiarity for materials: UHMWPE and Polycarbonate versus the Brown's POM stem and Nylon housing, generally producing a smoother stock feel at a similar price ($4.00 vs $4.50). For buyers who found the Cherry MX Brown's bump too subtle but still want a light-actuation tactile rather than jumping straight to the heavier Durock T1 or Holy Panda X, the Anubis is a reasonable middle step.
