What customers say
The TTC Dragon OG switches are highly valued for their exceptional stock smoothness and distinct acoustic profile. Enthusiasts consistently praise the deep, resonant 'thock' sound achieved through the long-pole stem, noting this superior sound quality often requires no immediate manual lubrication. Build quality is excellent, featuring tight tolerances that ensure a stable typing experience with minimal stem wobble. While the substantial spring weight is appreciated by many for a more grounded feel, it may prove fatiguing for users preferring lighter actuation. Overall, these switches deliver premium performance and a signature sound, making them a strong choice for those prioritizing acoustics and out-of-the-box quality.
Know before you buy
The Linear version provides a smooth, consistent keystroke without any physical bump, making it ideal for gaming. The Tactile version features a noticeable physical bump during the press, which offers better feedback for typing accuracy.
The Dragon OG switches use a standard MX-style cross stem mount. They are compatible with most mechanical keyboards that support hot-swappable or solderable Cherry MX-style switches.
No, these switches are not designed to be backlight compatible. The PBT plastic construction is opaque, meaning they will block light from your keyboard's LEDs.
A standard full-sized keyboard typically requires 104 switches, while a 60% keyboard usually needs 61. Since these are sold in packs of 10, ensure you calculate your total count based on your specific keyboard layout.
PBT plastic is known for its high durability and resistance to wear. It provides a more solid, textured feel compared to standard ABS plastic and is less prone to developing a shiny surface over time.
