Frequently asked

Why does the KTT Laurel sound deep?

It uses POM for both the housing and the stem. That self-lubricating material gives a soft, marbly, thocky report instead of a bright clack.

Why is the travel shorter than usual?

The Laurel has about 3.5mm of total travel rather than the usual 4.0mm, so it bottoms out a touch sooner — handy if you like a snappier, quicker keystroke.
