TKC Tangerine Linear Switches

Tangerine

BrandTKC
CategoryLinear

The Tangerines are the linear switch that will take your typing experience to the next level! With an incredibly smooth feel, each keystroke is a pleasure to type. In part, this is due to the UHWMPE housings, which is a rarity in the world of bespoke mechanical switches. We find a fairly high-pitched clack when typing on them.

Descriptors

#buttery

When referring to the sound, a buttery switch implies a smooth and fluid keystroke experience. These switches provide a seamless, effortless, and uniform typing sensation.

#polished

When referring to a polished switch, this indicates a switch has a smooth and refined finish, resulting in a sleek typing experience. This is due to either materials used and/or due to factory lubing. You can expect reduced friction and smooth key travel with these switches.

#high-pitched

High-pitched switches produce a sharp and crisp sound when pressed. If you do not like the more rich and bassy sound profiles of certain keyboard switches, be sure to pick higher-pitched ones.

#frictionless

Frictionless keyboard switches offer an extremely smooth and effortless typing experience, minimizing any sense of resistance or friction when pressing the keys. The switch offers a fluid travel.
