Quick Summary
The TTC White Horse is a magnetic Hall effect linear from TTC’s Year of the Horse collection. Instead of a metal leaf it uses magnets and sensors, so actuation is adjustable by travel distance and the press is completely free of bounce or chatter. With a light 35g initial force it’s built for gaming on HE-capable boards, where per-key sensitivity and rapid trigger matter more than typing sound.
Specs and Feel
This is an analog magnetic switch, so the “force curve” is really a magnetic-flux curve: roughly 90Gs at the initial point ramping to 480Gs at the bottom of a 3.45mm travel. The 35g starting force keeps the press light and fast. Because there are no physical contacts, the stroke is glassy-smooth and immune to the debounce quirks of a leaf switch — no double-taps, no chatter. The dust-proof stem helps keep that consistency over time. The catch is hardware: the adjustable actuation point is determined by distance traveled, which only works on a PCB with Hall effect sensors, and it is not compatible with standard mechanical keyboards. Even across HE boards, manufacturing differences mean it may not register correctly everywhere.
Tuning
There’s little to tune mechanically here — you don’t lube or film an analog HE switch the way you would a normal linear, and most of the experience is set in software. The real “tuning” is in your board’s firmware: set the actuation point, configure rapid trigger, and dial per-key sensitivity. Treat the switch as stock and spend your effort in the keyboard’s configurator.
Verdict
Buy the White Horse if you own a Hall effect board and want a light, adjustable, chatter-free linear with a bit of zodiac flair. It’s a gaming switch first — the value is in the analog actuation, not the acoustics. If you want adjustable HE travel with a slightly heavier, more deliberate press, the Wooting Lekker Linear60 is the obvious cross-shop; the White Horse is the lighter, faster-feeling of the two.
Frequently asked
Will the White Horse work in my keyboard?
Only if your board has Hall effect sensors and supports magnetic switches. It won't work in a normal mechanical PCB, and even among HE boards compatibility varies, so check your keyboard's supported-switch list first.
Why would I want a magnetic switch?
You get an adjustable actuation point set by travel distance rather than a fixed contact, plus rapid trigger and a smoother, chatter-free press. It's aimed at gamers who want to tune sensitivity per key.
How heavy is it?
Light — a 35g initial force makes for a fast, low-effort press that suits twitchy gaming more than long-haul typing.
