TTC Ace 60g

Quick Summary

The TTC Ace 60g is one of the best stock linears you can buy. It’s smooth, stable, and lubed better than most factory switches, with a balanced medium-thocky sound and a full 4mm travel. If you want a great-feeling linear and you don’t want to mess with tuning, this is among the easiest recommendations on the market.

Specs and Feel

This is a medium-weight linear: 60g actuation, with a standard 2.00mm pre-travel and a full 4.00mm total travel. The stem is POM, the top housing is polycarbonate and the bottom is nylon, on a gold-plated stainless steel spring. That housing pairing — brighter PC up top, deeper nylon below — produces a balanced, slightly thocky tone rather than a sharp clack. What sets the Ace apart is the execution: the factory lube is genuinely above average, so the travel is glassy-smooth with no scratch, and stem wobble is low, giving every keypress a planted, solid feel. There’s none of the inconsistency you often find at this price.

Tuning

Don’t bother. The whole appeal of the Ace is that it’s excellent stock — the factory lube and tolerances are good enough that opening 70-plus switches to re-lube them would be wasted effort. If you’re the type who tunes everything, a light spring lube is the only thing that could yield a marginal gain, but most people should build with these straight from the bag. They’re the rare budget switch that doesn’t ask for any work.

Verdict

Buy the TTC Ace 60g if you want a smooth, stable, medium-weight linear with zero fuss — it’s a textbook “drop in and enjoy” switch. Compared to a lighter, clackier option like the Swagkeys Jieum V2, the Ace trades volume for refinement and stability, so pick it when you value feel and a balanced sound over a loud signature. For a first good linear or a no-nonsense daily driver, it’s hard to beat at this price.
