All Silent Switches Available Right Now

Our database tracks every silent switch from Gazzew, Gateron, Cherry, Kailh, and other manufacturers. Silent switches use rubber or silicone dampeners on the stem to absorb impact sound on both press and release. Filter by type, force, and brand to find your ideal quiet switch.

Best Silent Switches for Office Keyboards

For office use, Boba U4 offers a quiet tactile option with satisfying bump feedback. Gateron Silent Red and Cherry MX Silent Red deliver smooth linear silence. These switches reduce keyboard noise by up to 50% compared to standard mechanical switches, making them considerate choices for shared workspaces.

Silent Linear vs Silent Tactile Switches

Silent linears provide the quietest possible typing with smooth, dampened travel and no bump. Silent tactiles add a tactile bump for keystroke confirmation while still being dramatically quieter than standard switches. Choose silent linear for maximum stealth or silent tactile if you want feedback without disturbing others.

Silent Switches for Streaming and Content Creation

Streamers benefit from silent switches because they minimize keyboard noise picked up by microphones. Silent linears like Cherry MX Silent Red or Gateron Silent Red reduce both bottom-out and upstroke sounds. Paired with o-rings or a foam-dampened case, they create a near-silent setup for professional audio quality.

How Silent Switch Dampeners Affect Feel

The rubber dampeners on silent switches create a softer, cushioned bottom-out and upstroke compared to standard switches. Some users describe it as a slightly mushy feel, while others find it more comfortable for long typing sessions. The dampened impact reduces finger fatigue over extended use.

Lubing Silent Switches for Maximum Smoothness

Silent switches benefit significantly from lubrication. A thin coat of Krytox 205g0 on the stem and housing eliminates remaining scratch and spring ping. Lubing silent switches creates an exceptionally smooth, nearly inaudible typing experience. Focus lubricant on the rails and avoid over-applying near the dampener pads.
