The Gateron Silent Switch is an excellent choice for users seeking an extremely quiet typing experience without sacrificing quality or standard compatibility. Thanks to its cushioned stem base and upper damping elements, this switch operates significantly quieter than traditional models, making it ideal for workspaces, late-night sessions, or open-plan living areas.
Available in various versions (e.g. Silent Red, Silent Black, Silent Yellow) and compatible with MX-style keyboards.
