This version of the popular gaming switch takes an already quiet design and renders it virtually noiseless, courtesy of patented rubber damping pieces inside each switch Read More

Soft and Silent
It is so silent that none can compete. There is also a soft feel to it when pressed on.

Soft, great weight, silent!
I love these switches. I got them for my DROP + OLKB PREONIC KEYBOARD MX KIT V3 so I could use it in the office (open floor plan). I really love these. Soft, a little heavy, satisfying low *thock* sound. After lubing they felt just a little mushy, but I'm a little heavy handed... I actually preferred them like this.

My fingers are toe beans
The first time I tried these switches were on a soldered board and I liked them so much I had to get some on my other boards. I know linears aren't for everyone especially ones that don't give you satisfying typing sounds but for me I really like typing on the Cherry Silent Reds where each key press my fingers are like a cat landing silently, leaping from platform to platform. Or a gymnast landing every jump with grace.

Now, I'm typing on these stock so there is a bit of scratchiness as expected but will definitely lube them in the future for optimal key pressing. I'd like to add that these are perfect when you're working from home even with a mic that cancels background sounds.

Silent, but pingy unlubed
I would definitely recommend lubing these switches as the ping of the springs is louder than bottoming out the switch. After lubing, these switches are relatively good and can be absolutely silent when well lubed. I was genuinely surprised by how quiet and soft these switches are after lubing + no more pinging.

BrilliantWhich lube did you use, and may I ask you if you have a video on that for "lubing the switches" (sorry for my english it's perfectible)?

Smooth and quiet
I make custom boards, and a client asked for extra quite keys. I purchased these and spent the energy to hand lube 108 of them before installing them. The clients tested out the keys and when I asked how they sounded, he said, "They don't...". He was more than pleased. I will say that lubing them is required to get them as quiet as possible. However, without lubing they are still rather quiet.

Very quiet - when lubed
I bought these to have a keyboard that I could use while taking notes during telecons (my Cherry Blues and Holy Pandas were very noticeable). Out of the box they are definitely quieter than a typical keyboard, but lubed they are the quietest keyboard I have every used (don't forget to lube your stabilizers as well). I was very satisfied with the sound and the feel is very buttery. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a quiet keyboard. If you lube them you will be very satisfied. If you don't lube them you'll get to better, but not perfect.

These are so quiet, I can type and no one can hear me.
I like being able to speak over mic and not have my keyboard heard and I'm so impressed by these switches.

Pretty Quiet
Picked this up as my household was complaining that my tactiles where too loud. As this was my first set of silent and linears, I must say there are very quiet and sound more muted, which I much preferred. Compared to my previous set, Halo Clears, these are much softer and easier to press. Not sure if I miss the tactile bumps but I much prefer the lower volume these output.

Silent, but a little scratchy
I bought these switches to put in my Drop CTRL for the office. As the name suggests, they are far quieter than normal switches (they are miles quieter than my MX browns!). They are great but as with most switches, they definitely could do with a bit of lubrication as they are a little scratchy and have some ping. Aside from this they are great
