Ttc Tiger Standard Linear Switches

This linear switch suits users who want a smooth, consistent keystroke with moderate resistance. It fits typists and gamers preferring a light actuation force without tactile bumps or clicks. It is not designed for quiet environments, as it lacks sound dampening features.

Feel & Sound

• Linear feel provides a smooth keypress without tactile feedback or audible clicks.
• Moderate actuation force offers a balance between light and firm resistance, supporting both fast key presses and deliberate typing.
• Sound profile is not silent, so it may produce noticeable noise during bottoming out.

Actuation Characteristics

• Short pre-travel distance allows for quick key activation, beneficial for responsive typing or gaming.
• Total travel length is standard, providing familiar key depth and feedback on bottoming out.
• Bottom-out force is higher than actuation force, giving a defined end to each keystroke.

Build Quality

• Polycarbonate top housing and POM + nylon blend bottom housing contribute to durability and consistent feel.
• Rounded MX-style POM stem reduces friction for smoother keypresses.
• Stainless steel spring ensures longevity and stable force over time.
• Factory lubrication reduces initial scratchiness, improving smoothness out of the box.

Compatibility

• PCB mount design fits most standard mechanical keyboards with PCB mounting.
• Supports SMD LEDs, allowing for backlighting compatibility.
• Five-pin configuration provides stable mounting but may limit hot-swap compatibility on some boards.

Trade-offs

• Not silent, so less ideal for noise-sensitive environments.
• Force variance may cause slight inconsistency between switches, noticeable in large key clusters.
• Long spring length may affect responsiveness for users preferring very light or short springs.
