TTC Venus Switch 110pcs

TTC Venus Switch 110pcs – Linear Gaming Switches with High-Speed Rail Technology and Smooth Keystroke

Ideal for beginners

Do you like it when every keystroke feels pleasantly light and smooth? Then the TTC Venus Switch should be just right for you. This linear mechanical keyboard switch combines a light actuation force of 45 gf with a short actuation travel of only 1.8 mm. This ensures fast, controlled inputs - whether an intensive gaming session is running, emails are being answered or a longer text is being created in the home office.

The smooth typing feel without noticeable tactile resistance is particularly pleasant. The switches are pre-lubricated from the factory and glide smoothly through their entire key travel. In addition, there is a rather deep, muffled sound, which can be a real pleasure to type on. No loud clicking, no unnecessary scratching – simply a pleasantly soft keystroke. Of course, how the keyboard actually sounds also depends on the case, the keycaps and the rest of the construction.

For IT professionals & enthusiasts

The TTC Venus is more than just an ordinary linear switch. Its technical heart is the specially developed high-speed rail structure with extended guide rails. These improve the control of the punch, reduce lateral movement and ensure constant, low-friction key travel.

With 45 gf actuation force, 52 gf bottom-out force, 1.8 mm travel and 3.8 mm total travel, the Venus offers a balanced combination of fast release and controlled feedback. An elongated spring with a length of around 20.5 mm supports the smooth recovery behavior. The result is a smooth, slightly springy typing feel that is often described as "Q-Texture".

The upper case is made of POM, the transparent lower case is made of polycarbonate. The stamp is also made of POM. The switch has a 5-pin PCB mount and an MX-compatible cross stamp. This makes it suitable for numerous mechanical custom keyboards with corresponding switch mounts. For hot-swap keyboards, it is important to pay attention to the compatibility of the PCB.

High-Speed Rail Technology – Smooth movement with every stroke

With conventional mechanical switches, short guide rails and lateral movements can lead to additional friction. TTC Venus therefore relies on an extended guide system with 6.0 mm long guide rails. This makes the plunger more stable and moves particularly evenly.

This is especially noticeable with fast key combinations and repeated inputs. Especially in shooters, strategy games or intensive text work, the movement feels controlled and smooth. And anyone who likes to type on a mechanical keyboard knows this: Sometimes the sound of a single keystroke makes you want to try the next one.

Factory Lubed – Smooth directly from the factory

Every TTC Venus Switch is pre-lubricated at the factory. This lubrication reduces friction between the moving components and contributes to an even keystroke. Additional manual lubrication is therefore not absolutely necessary.

The sound profile is rather deep and restrained. The Venus does not have a mechanical click mechanism, but it is also not a specially damped silent switch. If you are looking for a smooth typing feel with a pleasantly discreet sound, this is an interesting alternative to classic linear switches.

5-pin mounting and MX compatibility

The TTC Venus uses a 5-pin PCB mount design with two additional plastic guide pins. These support stable positioning on compatible PCBs. In conjunction with the standardized MX cross stamp, numerous commercially available MX keycaps can be used.

The switch is suitable for both compatible hot-swap keyboards and custom keyboard projects with corresponding mechanical switch mounts. QMK or VIA functions are provided by the keyboard being used, not by the switch itself.

TTC Venus or TTC Neptune – What's the difference?

Both models feature high-speed rail technology, factory lubrication and a total stroke of 3.8 mm. However, the TTC Venus releases after just 1.8 mm and requires 45 gf for this. The TTC Neptune has a release force of 41 gf and a travel of 2.0 mm.

The Venus thus offers a slightly earlier release point and a slightly stronger resistance. If you like to type with very light switches, you might prefer the Neptune. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a somewhat more defined keystroke with a shorter release distance, you should enjoy the Venus.

Conclusion & Recommendation

The TTC Venus combines a short actuation travel with a light actuation and the special high-speed rail guide. Its smooth movement, smooth sound and factory lubrication make it an interesting choice for gaming keyboards, typing workstations and individual custom keyboard projects.

If you're looking for linear switches with a smooth typing feel and fast actuation point, then you can't go wrong with the TTC Venus Switch.
