KTT Sea Salt Lemon Switch Review – Soepele Budgettopper?
KTT Sea Salt Lemon Switch Review – Smooth Budget Linear!

The KTT Sea Salt Lemon is gaining traction as a top-tier budget linear switch. With a light factory dry-lube and progressive spring design, it delivers velvety smoothness right out of the box. Here's what the community is saying:

✅ Pros

  • Smoother than most stock switches: One Redditor on r/BudgetKeebs wrote it was "prolly the smoothest switch I've tried on so far" even without additional lubing.
  • Very little wobble: Same user noted virtually no wobble, film mods weren't needed.
  • Factory dry-lube: Several forum users mention the dry lube gives a noticeably smooth feel.
  • Great value: At ~$0.27–$0.30 per switch, it's one of the most affordable high-quality pre-lubed options.

⚠️ Cons & Comparisons

  • Not as buttery as lubed premiums: Milktooth notes the Sea Salt Lemon is smooth but not quite as creamy as higher-end lubed switches.
  • Mild sound profile: Reviews describe the sound as neutral and mildly low-pitched—not a deep thock.

🔍 Final Verdict

If you're looking for a smooth, affordable entry to custom mechanical keyboards, the KTT Sea Salt Lemon is hard to beat. It checks key boxes: smoothness, minimal wobble, and value. For a deeper thock or silkier feel, you'd need to hand-lube it or invest in higher-end switches.
