The bump
A polished POM stem rides over a gold-plated leaf. Force climbs to 55 gf at 1.9 mm, drops away, and the key falls through to a padded floor. You feel the letter land before you hear it.

Inside the T1
Nine parts. One very specific feeling.
Lubed at the factory
Rails, spring and leaf get a thin PTFE-based lube on the line, applied by a brush arm, not a bath. No scratch on the way down, no ping on the way back up.
Wobble 0.3 mm · rated 100 M pressesThe sound
A nylon bottom housing under a polycarbonate top: a low, rounded thock, quieter than a linear at the same force. Long-pole stem so it never clacks against the top.
