Ktt Purple Click Clicky Switches

This switch offers a tactile and audible click experience suited for typists who prefer clear feedback with moderate force. It fits users seeking a distinct click sound and a noticeable actuation point, rather than a silent or linear feel. It is less ideal for office environments requiring quiet operation or for gamers prioritizing ultra-fast key presses.

Feel & Sound

• Provides a clicky feedback with a click leaf mechanism, delivering audible and tactile confirmation on each keypress.
• Actuation requires moderate force, giving a deliberate typing experience without feeling too heavy.
• Sound profile is loud due to the click leaf, making it unsuitable for noise-sensitive settings.

Actuation Characteristics

• Light actuation force of 40g allows for responsive key presses with a clear tactile bump at 1.9mm pretravel.
• Total travel of 4.0mm provides a full keypress depth, supporting comfortable typing without early bottoming out.
• Bottom out force is higher at 55g, which may reduce finger fatigue by preventing accidental presses.

Build Quality

• Polycarbonate top housing and nylon bottom housing combine durability with a slightly firm sound profile.
• POM stem material contributes to smooth stem movement and reduced friction.
• Includes an 18mm spring and comes factory lubed, which reduces scratchiness and improves initial smoothness.

Compatibility

• Designed for plate mount keyboards, requiring compatible mounting style.
• Supports single LED lighting, suitable for keyboards with basic backlighting setups.
• Three-pin design limits compatibility with some hot-swap PCBs that require five pins.

Trade-offs

• Click leaf mechanism produces noticeable noise, which can be disruptive in shared or quiet environments.
• Force variance of 5 cN means some inconsistency in feel between switches is possible.
• Longer spring length and bottom out force may feel stiff to users preferring lighter switches.
