Compared To Other Keyboard Switches

KTT Strawberry

KTT Rose and KTT Strawberry are very similar linear switches with smooth actuation all through the keypress. They both have similar, low-pitched sound profiles, but the KTT Rose switches have a two-stage spring, adding slightly more cushion on the bottom of your keystroke, while the KTT strawberry is a bit more fluid and consistent feeling.
