TTC Ice
Transparent linear mechanical keyboard switches
TTC Ice pairs a transparent housing and stem with a smooth linear press. A 24mm spring, factory lubrication and 1.6mm pre-travel make it an interesting option for a custom mechanical keyboard build where both the feel and the view through the switch matter.
- Linear
- No tactile bump
- 1.6mm
- Pre-travel
- 24mm
- Spring length
Clear from top to bottom
A transparent stem, upper housing and base reveal the switch construction. The clear finish is a natural match for a build that puts lighting and internal detail on display.
A longer spring, a smooth press
The 24mm spring works with a factory-lubricated linear mechanism. TTC lists a 45gf initial force: that is the resistance at the start of the press, not a quoted operating-force measurement.
A shorter path to actuation
TTC specifies 1.6mm pre-travel and 3.6mm total travel. The fixed mechanical actuation point suits buyers who want a shorter pre-travel without changing to a magnetic keyboard.
Ice specifications
Figures are supplied by TTC for this model. Durability ratings reflect manufacturer testing, not a promised service life or warranty period. Sound and feel vary with the keyboard build.

This KEYDOM set includes 110 TTC Ice switches. Keyboard, keycaps and tools are not included. Check your keyboard's key count and compatibility before ordering.
Before you choose
Is the 45gf figure the operating force?
No. TTC identifies 45gf as the initial force for Ice. It should not be compared directly with another switch's operating force without checking how each figure is measured.
Is Ice a silent switch?
TTC describes Ice as linear, not as a silent model. The final sound also depends on your keyboard case, plate, keycaps and typing force.
Will these work in my keyboard?
Check your PCB socket, switch pin layout, plate and keycap compatibility before ordering. These are mechanical switches, not drop-in replacements for Hall Effect or optical switches. A soldered keyboard requires soldering work to replace its switches.
