KTT Hyacinth Linear Switches
- In stock, ready to ship
- Backordered, shipping soon
One of our favourite content creators BobblingPanda recently went on holiday in China and came back with a bunch of switches that are pretty much unknown in the West, but making waves in the Far East. He sent a sample pack to me and there was a banging long pole linear by the name of KTT Hyacinth that really stood out to me and here we are.
These are now one of our personal favourite long pole linears that we stock! They offer a mid toned sound profile with a nice bright upstroke with quite a creamy sound signature with moderate to loud volume! Even with all of the HMX switches out there, our resident switch expert Rassles always find myself putting these back in one of my personal boards to use time and time again.

thocky sound profile. the springs are quite lightweight but snappy at the same time, really enjoyable. One thing to note is that they are not factory-lubed at all, so you'll have to lube them yourself. worth it imo, one of my top switches
Need a little bit of work out of the box but otherwise not bad at all !

one of my fav linears!
After doing various sound tests, these switches really came out on top! Completely stock there is some scratch but no spring or leaf ping at all, with some 105 on the springs and 205 on the housings and stem these switches sound incredible.
I have compared these to yangs, cream sodas, and haluhalos, and found that the most comparible switch to them is the haluhalos. In terms of volume these are much louder as they have a long pole stem and slightly different housing materials, the springs although actuation and bottom out is different, the iconic haluhalo creamy pop is still there, and even better. I would say these switches have beaten one of my beloved favourites and if I had to pick one over the other, I would go for these long pole goodness switches.
Gopolar Yangs: Higher pitched, less stem wobble, creating a cleaner and clackier sound signature.
Cream sodas: deeper and slightly more muted.
I recommend picking these switches up if you are after a creamy pop sound signature on the higher end of the pitch spectrum. 9/10 switch experience.
