Know before you buy
A linear switch provides a smooth, consistent keystroke from top to bottom without any tactile bump or audible click. This makes them ideal for gaming and fast typing where a fluid, uninterrupted motion is preferred.
The color variants are primarily for aesthetic customization to match your keyboard's theme. The performance characteristics, such as the linear actuation and smoothness, remain consistent across all color options.
A standard full-sized keyboard typically requires 104 switches. Since these come in packs of 45, you would need to purchase three packs to cover all keys, leaving you with a few spares.
These switches are designed for standard mechanical keyboards that support MX-style stems. We recommend verifying that your keyboard's PCB supports hot-swappable switches or that you are prepared to solder them if your board is not hot-swappable.
KTT HIFI switches are engineered for a smooth experience out of the box. While they offer a refined feel, some enthusiasts may choose to apply additional lubricant to further tune the sound and smoothness to their personal preference.
