TTC Flaming Purple
My take on the TTC Flaming Purple 42g: a light, long-pole POK linear with a tall spring and bright shine-through. Specs, sound, feel and tuning notes.

Frequently asked
Why does the Flaming Purple feel so snappy?
It uses a long-pole POK stem and a short 3.6mm total travel, so it bottoms out firmly and quickly — a poppier, more responsive press than a standard 4mm linear.
What's the spring like?
An extra-long 23mm spring gives the 42g actuation a more linear, consistent push from top to bottom and helps the switch spring back briskly.
Is it good for gaming?
Yes — the light weight, short pre-travel and quick reset make it a comfortable, fast linear for fast-paced games.
