As a small UK business, we handle every order ourselves — no drop shipping involved. Every item we send out goes through a quality control check to make sure you receive exactly what you ordered and in the condition you’d expect.

Some of our products are sourced from local UK suppliers, while others come directly from manufacturers we trust. The dispatch times for each item are clearly shown on the product listing, so you’ll always know whether it’s available for same-day dispatch or if it needs a little extra time before shipping.

We also pride ourselves on providing the best customer support possible. When you contact us, you’ll always be speaking directly to one of the three people who run this business — no automated bots, no outsourced call centres, just real help from people who know and love the products we sell.

Product details

Linear Switch

KTT Kang White V3 Linear Switches

The budget linear king. Factory-lubed, ultra-smooth, with a satisfying poppy sound signature—all at a fraction of premium switch pricing. The #1 most-searched switch of 2023 for good reason.

KTT emerged in 2020 with a decade of switch manufacturing expertise, quickly earning a reputation for exceptional value. The Kang White V3 is their flagship budget linear—refined with updated moulds that eliminate stem wobble and enhance smoothness over earlier versions.

Unlike budget competitors that arrive scratchy, these come factory-lubed with KTT's dry lubricant and are genuinely usable stock. The PC top and nylon bottom housing create a crisp downstroke with a fuller bottom-out. At 43g actuation (vs Gateron Milky Yellow's 50g), they're lighter, snappier, and better lubed out of the box.

Key Features

V3 Mould — Minimal Wobble
Third-gen tooling produces tighter stem-to-housing tolerances. Noticeably more stable than V1/V2 with a cleaner sound signature.
Factory Dry Lubrication
KTT's proprietary dry lube delivers real smoothness out of the box. Many users skip additional lubing entirely—these work stock.
Progressive Spring
15.5mm gold-plated spring starts light at 43g and builds toward 53–58g bottom-out. Snappy response without finger fatigue.
Hybrid Housing
Clear PC top for crisp acoustics and RGB shine-through. Milky nylon bottom for deeper, warmer bottom-out sound.
Self-Lubricating POM Stem
Modified POM offers natural slickness that complements factory lube. Maintains smoothness over millions of keystrokes.
Universal Fit
3-pin design works on both 3-pin and 5-pin PCBs. MX-compatible for all standard keycaps and hot-swap boards.

Typing Experience & Sound Profile

Overall Feel
Light, effortless actuation with a snappy return. 23% lighter than Gateron Milky Yellows. No scratchiness—just smooth linear travel top to bottom.
Sound Profile
Poppy with thocky undertones. Crisp downstroke from the PC top, fuller bottom-out from nylon base. Lubing deepens it into creamy territory.
Consistency
Excellent batch consistency in spring weight and housing fit. Tight tolerances mean filming is unnecessary and not recommended.

Available Pack Sizes

Available in 10-packs or individual samples. Grab a sample to test, or stock up—roughly 70 switches for a 60%, 90 for TKL, 110 for full-size.
