Whisper Quiet

Bought the tactile purple switches and I am impressed in how much quieter they are compared to my old switches. I added a bit of lube and now my typing sound is more muffed and silent. Quite happy with purchase.

Quiet Mechanical Switches

The IDOBAO x Kailh Elf switches are silent and smooth, perfect for noise-sensitive environments. They provide a satisfying typing experience without the usual mechanical sound, making them a great choice for quiet productivity.

Quite Quiet

Got 1 set of the linear for the keys i use the most, and i'm going to grab another set or two in the tactile for the rest. Absolutely phenomenal in my z-99 keyboard.

I really like these.

I ended up picking up 3 packs of the purple (tactile) variant for my Keychron Q1, as I wanted to try out something a bit lighter. I actually ended up liking these a lot more than I thought I would. I'll see how these work out long term but so far, I'm impressed. The sound level is about on par with a membrane keyboard and the tactile bump, while subtle, is there. The best way to describe these is that they feel like the keys on an old Apple Pro keyboard (the ones that were shipped with Mac desktops prior to the thin aluminum ones). I haven't tried lubing/filming these yet, but I'll probably leave them alone because they already feel pretty great out of the box and I'm not really noticing a lot of scratchiness.

Shhh, be quiet

My first “silent” switches. Went from kiiboom crystal switches to these. Wife doesn’t miss the clickety clacking at night

Certainly Silent!

Pretty quiet, and feel quite nice. Great for an open office & you don’t want to annoy a neighbor.

Quiet, well preforming switches

These switches produce a quiet, muted sound and provide excellent stability when actuated. I tried out both the green and the purple stock on a board which had previously had Akko botany switches installed, so the change in sound was fairly substantial. The purple has a distinct tactile bump versus the smooth glide of the linear greens and both are fairly lightweight. The purple switches do sometimes have a bit of slight scratchiness or ping to them but it’s not consistent or terribly distracting, lube might reduce this. The tactile bump is pleasant but not tedious. The linear green don’t really have that tactile scratchy noise, making them slightly quieter when run stock. They both allow lighting through fairly well and the packaging was excellent.

Purple: Quiet, light, tactile

Coming from Halo Clears (seeking a lighter tactile switch), these are significantly quieter. The noise level feels comparable to typing on my MacBook Pro keyboard, so it is definitely still there but way less intrusive. These switches also feel more stable as well as still being surprisingly tactile. I was not expecting it to be as tactile as it was, given that it was a silent switch, but am impressed.

Fairly quiet and decent low-noise switch

This switch wasn’t the best option among the ones I’ve used, but I liked that it had less wobble.

Wonderful linear silent switches

I’ve fitted IDOBAO X KAILH Elf Utra-Silent Green switches to my CSTM80 keyboard together with Blue Cat caps and they are wonderful! I’m not a fan of clicky or thocky key switches and these are about as silent as you can get, and they are so easy to type with. Worth the effort of fitting and price. Perfect for work and play.
