Frequently asked

Why are KTT Strawberry switches so popular?

They are cheap, light to type on, and have a clean, poppy sound that sounds far more expensive than they are — a lot of value for a budget linear.

How heavy are they?

Light at the top with a 43g actuation, firming up to about 62g at the bottom thanks to the progressive spring.

Do they need lube?

They are factory lubed and great stock. A light hand-lube on the spring only helps if you want to remove the last hint of ping.
