This is an interest check for a brand new low profile MX mount mechanical keyboard switch and a 60% layout custom keyboard kit that supports the new switches.

Why:

1. I enjoy the feel and sound of my mechanical keyboards. However, most mechanical keyboards are NOT comfortable to type on without a wrist rest due to how high the they are.
   Using a wrist rest will make the typing experience much better but it will sacrifice the precious desktop space.
   
2. There are some existing mechanical keyboards with low profile switches on the market.
   I’ve tested many of them but I’ve never found one that the feel and sound are comparable to regular MX switch keyboards.
   
   My 2 cents about some existing options:

• Kailh Chocolate: feels good but not compatible with MX keycaps. All the existing keycaps and stabs feel awful.
• Cherry low profile: scratchy and I don’t like the sound.
• Kailh KH: not that low
  What:

1. TTC low profile switches. This is a brand new low profile switch manufactured by TTC. I’ve been assisted TTC for refining this switch for almost 1 year. It was tailored to my taste but I belive you will love it as well.

Features: low profile, MX stem, smooth, 3.5mm travel

2. 60% TTC low profile switch PCB. I have designed the first PCB for these TTC switches.
Features: QMK/VIA, Costar stab support, USB-C, regular GH60 case support, RGB backlight

3. Pitta 60 keyboard case. I have designed the lowest possible aluminum case for the PCB.
Features: E-coating/anodizing aluminum, PCB tray mount


The goal

1. I want to make the new TTC low profile switches available to the community at affordable price.
2. The Pitta 60 kit includes everything you need to build your first low profile custom mech. It’s probably the best premium low profile switch keyboard to date.
   Keycap compatibility:
   Fully compatible:

• DSA

• XDA

• DCS

• MDA

• Taihao Cublic

• SA (333333)

• SA (223333)

• KAM

• MT3

• MG (MelGeek)

• HAS
  Not compatible:

• SA (112343)

• OEM
  Partially compatible:

• G20: there are at least two molds of the G20 profile caps. One mold is fully compatible. The another one is not.
  I’ve test most of the keycap profiles on the market. Please let me know what else you want me to test.
  The most promising keycap profiles are DCS, DSA, XDA, and Cubic. They are readily available and comfortable to type on.
  It doesn’t make sense to use high profile keycaps but I’ve also tested some of them.
  Unfortunately, Cherry profile is not compatible whatsoever.
