Your Guide to Silent Mechanical Keyboard Switches
Silent switches are a popular choice for users who need the performance of a mechanical switch without the noise. Below are answers to common questions to help you choose the right silent switches for your next build.
What makes a switch 'silent'?
Silent switches incorporate rubber or silicone dampeners on the top and bottom of the stem sliders. These dampeners absorb the impact when the key is pressed and released, significantly reducing the 'clack' and 'clink' sounds associated with traditional mechanical switches. This results in a much quieter operation without sacrificing the mechanical feel.
What is the difference between silent linear and silent tactile switches?
Silent linear switches provide a smooth, consistent keystroke with no bump, making them exceptionally quiet. Silent tactile switches offer a noticeable bump during actuation, providing feedback that a key press has been registered. The choice between them depends on your preference for smooth versus feedback-driven typing on your custom keyboard.
Are silent switches suitable for gaming?
Yes, silent switches are excellent for gaming, especially for streamers or those who play in shared spaces. They offer the same fast actuation and reliability as standard switches but minimize noise that can be picked up by microphones. The slightly softer bottom-out feel is a minor trade-off for the acoustic benefits.
How do silent switches impact the feel of a custom keyboard?
Silent switches create a softer, more muted sound profile compared to their non-silent counterparts. While they reduce the characteristic 'clack', they can still produce a satisfying 'thock' sound depending on the keyboard's case, plate, and keycaps. The dampened bottom-out provides a cushioned feel that many users find comfortable for long typing sessions.
Should I lubricate my silent switches?
Lubricating silent switches is highly recommended. Applying a thin layer of a suitable lubricant, like Krytox 205g0, can enhance their smoothness, reduce any spring 'ping', and make them even quieter. It's a popular modification for enthusiasts building a high-end mechanical keyboard.
