Know before you buy
These are 5-pin PCB mount switches. They are compatible with most hot-swappable keyboards, though if your board only supports 3-pin switches, you may need to clip the two plastic guide pins on the bottom of the switch.
The KTT Strawberry V2 features a POM stem and a progressive gold-plated spring, which provides a smooth, consistent travel with a snappy return. At a 43g actuation force, they feel light and responsive, making them an excellent choice for long typing sessions or fast-paced gaming.
The transparent PC housing is designed to be highly light-conductive, allowing your keyboard's RGB backlighting to shine through clearly and vibrantly. It is an ideal choice if you want to maximize the visual impact of your board's lighting effects.
While these switches are designed for a smooth experience right out of the box, many enthusiasts choose to apply their own lubricant to further refine the sound and feel. They perform very well stock, but manual lubing can offer a more customized, dampened acoustic profile.
Yes, these switches feature a standard MX-style cross stem, making them compatible with the vast majority of mechanical keyboard keycap sets currently on the market.
