Ttc Flip King HE Linear Switches

The Ttc Flip King Magnetic HE is a linear mechanical switch designed for users seeking smooth, consistent keypresses with adjustable actuation points. It suits enthusiasts who want a unique magnetic sensing mechanism instead of traditional physical contacts. This switch is best for custom builds with compatible magnetic or Hall Effect PCBs, not standard mechanical keyboards.

Feel & Sound

• Linear feel with no tactile bump or click, offering a smooth keystroke.
• Magnetic sensing reduces key bounce and chatter, resulting in a cleaner input.
• Sound profile is quieter and less harsh than typical mechanical switches due to the absence of physical contact actuation.
• Bottom-out is softened by magnetic force, which may feel different from traditional spring resistance.

Actuation Characteristics

• Adjustable actuation point based on travel distance rather than fixed location, allowing customization of key response.
• Light initial force of 35g facilitates easy keypresses, suitable for fast typing or gaming.
• Total travel of 3.5mm is standard, with magnetic flux increasing from 90Gs at actuation to 480Gs at bottom-out, influencing feel and feedback.

Build & Compatibility

• Plate mount design requires compatible PCBs with magnetic or Hall Effect support; incompatible with regular mechanical keyboard PCBs.
• Housing and stem include ventilation holes for heat dissipation, potentially improving durability under heavy use.
• Stem follows MX style, allowing compatibility with MX keycaps.
• Due to manufacturing variations, compatibility with all magnetic keyboards is not guaranteed.

Trade-offs

• Requires specialized PCBs, limiting use to custom or specific keyboard builds.
• Potential incompatibility with some magnetic or Hall Effect keyboards due to manufacturing differences.
• Unknown performance regarding factory lubrication and modification potential.
