Verdict
Both the Matias Quiet Click and the TTC Silent Bluish White are tactiles, so this matchup comes down to weight, travel and sound rather than feel. Check your board first: the Matias Quiet Click does not use an MX style stem, so the two are not interchangeable in the same keyboard. There is a real weight gap too: 60 g against 42 g at actuation, so the Matias Quiet Click asks noticeably more of your fingers over a long session. The TTC Silent Bluish White comes out ahead of the Matias Quiet Click for gaming and for typing, and its pads make it the only one of the two an office tolerates, so this comparison has one answer instead of a set of them.

Matias Quiet Click or TTC Silent Bluish White: the long answer
This pair has a fit problem to clear before feel or sound matter. The Matias Quiet Click does not use an MX style stem, so it will not drop into a standard hot-swap board or accept ordinary MX keycaps. The Matias Quiet Click is mid priced, while the TTC Silent Bluish White is premium priced. Factory lube is on the TTC Silent Bluish White alone. Budget the extra time if you pick the Matias Quiet Click and want it at its best.
Now the part the spec table measures. The spread at actuation is 18 g, 60 g on the Matias Quiet Click against 42 g on the TTC Silent Bluish White, which puts them in different weight brackets rather than two shades of one. The stroke itself is shared: both give a finger something to aim at on the way down. Both run to 3.5 mm, but the TTC Silent Bluish White counts the press at 2.0 mm where the Matias Quiet Click waits until 2.2 mm. Same stroke character, so the spring is the fact to weigh.
Sound is where most people finally pick a side. Played back to back, the Matias Quiet Click is damped Alps-style thud, office-safe against soft dampened 'puc', bump intact from the TTC Silent Bluish White. Dampening pads are on both, which puts the whole comparison inside a narrow band of volume and moves it onto tone. Worth repeating: the audio here is a simulation built from specs and community descriptions, not a recording of either switch.
This one does not split. Every axis we score points the same direction: the TTC Silent Bluish White is our pick for gaming, for typing and for a shared desk. On speed, the scoring hands it a lighter spring at actuation and a shorter distance to actuation. On typing feel, its keystroke stays consistent and comfortable across a full day of writing. On noise, its dampening keeps the sound from carrying across the room. That leaves the Matias Quiet Click to anyone who preferred its voice in the player above, which is a good enough reason on its own. The player above is the cheapest part of this decision, so use it before your wallet is involved.
