KTT Lightning Linear Switch

Introduction

The KTT Lighting is like a KTT Pro Max to us - it builds upon the housings of a premium KTT switch and adds on a box-shaped stem, making it the absolute smoothest switch we’ve tried thus far, period. Much like other more premium KTTs like the Strawberry and Pine Green, the KTT Lightning features the standard 4-leg MX style housing construction which makes switch opening and modding easier. Consistency is also noticeably better than the more affordable options, with almost no variance in terms of sound and feel among switches in a batch.

If smoothness is your top priority when shopping for a switch, just stop reading this description and add these to your cart. Really. These are 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 good. The way the chunky box stem slides down the top housing into the bottom housing is very much like a spoon gliding through 𝘵𝘢𝘶 𝘧𝘶 𝘧𝘢 (a silky Malaysian soy dessert). Once at the bottom, you are rewarded with a crisp note that is both satisfying and substantive. The best part? All this for half of what you’d typically spend on a top-end premium switch. The KTT Lightning really does it all - sound, feel and tangible value.

If you love right-out-of-the-box smoothness and deep sound, look no further.
