Frequently asked

How heavy is the KTT Purple Star?

It actuates around 43g and bottoms out near 50g, so it is a genuinely light linear that suits fast typing and long sessions without finger fatigue.

Do I need to lube these?

They arrive factory lubed and feel smooth enough to use stock. A light hand-lube on the springs will quiet any faint ping if you are chasing perfection.

What do they sound like?

The full POM housing gives a soft, rounded, medium-thocky tone rather than a sharp clack — easy on the ears in a quiet room.
