Quick Summary
The TTC Frozen Silent 39g (also sold as the Silent Glacier and known to many as the Frozen V2) is a featherlight silent linear built for comfort and near-silence. At 39g actuation with a padded bottom-out and short travel, it aims squarely at people who type for hours and want as little resistance and noise as possible. It is one of the better silent linears in its price bracket, and a strong pick for office, late-night, or low-fatigue builds.
Specs and Feel
This is a true silent linear: 39g to actuate, 43g at bottom-out, 2.00mm pre-travel and 3.50mm total travel. The short, shallow stroke combined with the light, long spring lets you feather the keys rather than punch them, which is where the low-fatigue reputation comes from. The bottom-out is padded but not mushy — dampeners soften the landing without turning it to foam. Smoothness out of the box is good thanks to the factory lube, though the odd unit can feel faintly scratchy. Housing wobble is minimal and well controlled. The polycarbonate housings and rounded light-pipe stem make these excellent for RGB; clear and translucent boards light up beautifully through them.
Tuning
Run them stock — the factory lube is competent and the silencing is already strong. If you chase perfection, a careful hand lube on the springs and a touch on any scratchy stems cleans up the last bit of inconsistency. If keycaps loosen on the POM cross mount, a little PTFE thread tape on the stem fixes it.
Verdict
Buy these if you want a genuinely quiet, very light linear with a soft landing and a flat, fatigue-friendly force curve — they hold their own against pricier silent linears like the Kailh Deep Sea family at a fraction of the cost. Skip them only if you prefer a heavier, firmer switch or a more pronounced bottom-out; at 39g these are deliberately delicate. For silent, comfortable, all-day typing, they are an easy recommendation.
Frequently asked
How quiet are the TTC Frozen 39g switches?
Very quiet. They are among the most muted silent linears you can buy, with soft dampeners that take most of the click out of both the bottom-out and the upstroke. They are not totally silent, but in a typical build they disappear into the background.
Do the TTC Frozen 39g need lubing or films?
They ship factory lubed and feel good out of the box, so most builders can run them stock. A few units can read slightly scratchy, so a hand lube on the stems and springs is an optional polish step rather than a requirement.
Will keycaps stay on the TTC Frozen stems?
The POM stems can run a touch loose, so heavy caps may work free over time. A wrap of PTFE thread tape on the cross mount tightens the fit if you run into it.
