Know before you buy
These switches feature a patented internal dampening system that cushions the bottom-out and return strokes. This design significantly reduces the high-pitched 'clack' typically associated with mechanical keyboards without sacrificing the linear feel.
Yes, they utilize the standard MX-style cross stem mount. This makes them compatible with the vast majority of aftermarket keycap sets designed for mechanical keyboards.
The SILENT Black switch offers a linear travel, meaning there is no tactile bump or click. However, it features a stronger spring force than lighter linear switches, providing a firmer, more deliberate keystroke that many users find more stable and satisfying.
Yes, these switches are specifically designed with a transparent housing to allow RGB light to pass through. They are fully compatible with keyboards that use per-key RGB backlighting.
Absolutely. Because they are engineered specifically for noise reduction, they are an excellent choice for open-plan offices or shared workspaces where you want the performance of a mechanical keyboard without disturbing colleagues.
