What customers say
The Gazzew U4 65g Silent switches are highly regarded for their superior silence and excellent tactile feel. Users consistently praise the proprietary dampening for minimizing noise during both key presses, making them perfect for quiet environments. The tactile bump is described as large, smooth, and satisfyingly rounded, offering distinct feedback without feeling mushy. The 65g spring weight hits a sweet spot, providing adequate resistance for focused typing without causing fatigue during long sessions. While these switches carry a premium price, the community agrees that the unmatched combination of quiet operation and high quality justifies the investment for enthusiasts seeking the best silent tactile experience.
Know before you buy
These switches provide a distinct physical bump when pressed, confirming the keypress without the loud 'clack' of standard mechanical switches. They are designed to dampen the sound of both the downstroke and upstroke, making them ideal for shared workspaces or quiet environments.
The 55g option is lighter and requires less force, which can help reduce finger fatigue during long typing sessions. The 65g option offers more resistance, providing a firmer, more deliberate feel that many typists prefer to prevent accidental key presses.
These are standard MX-style switches, meaning they are compatible with most hot-swappable mechanical keyboards and custom builds that use Cherry MX-style mounting. Always check your keyboard's PCB compatibility to ensure it supports 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches.
The switches come with light factory lubrication on the leaf and spring base, which provides a smooth feel right out of the box. While some enthusiasts may choose to add more, the factory application is sufficient for most users to enjoy a refined typing experience immediately.
Each unit contains a pack of 70 switches. If you are building a full-sized keyboard, you may need to purchase additional packs depending on your specific layout.
