What customers say
Enthusiasts overwhelmingly praise the TTC Elastic Long Switch Springs for their superior typing feel. The longer design delivers a remarkably smooth, consistent press by eliminating the initial resistance spike common in shorter springs. Users frequently describe the return stroke as snappy and elastic, resulting in a significantly more responsive and lively switch action. Quality control is also a major strength, with excellent consistency in actuation force across batches ensuring a uniform experience. While these springs carry a premium price, the consensus is that the tangible improvement in typing feel justifies the investment. For those seeking an energetic return and smooth travel, these springs are considered a best-in-class upgrade.
Know before you buy
These springs are specifically designed for Cherry MX style switches. They will work with most standard mechanical switches that follow the Cherry MX footprint, but they are not compatible with low-profile or non-MX style switches.
The 45gf actuation force is the weight required to register a keypress, while the 53gf bottom-out force is the resistance you feel when pressing the key all the way down. This specific pairing provides a light, responsive feel that is slightly firmer at the end of the stroke.
The 24mm length is considered a 'long' spring, which typically results in a snappier return and a more consistent force curve. This length helps provide a more uniform feel across the entire press compared to shorter, stock springs.
Yes, you will need a switch opener to disassemble your switches and a pair of precision tweezers to handle the springs. It is also recommended to have a stem holder to keep the internal components organized during the process.
No, these springs come dry. We recommend applying a light coating of switch lubricant during installation to reduce spring ping and ensure a smoother operation.
