Explicitly silent low profile switches?
Explicitly silent low profile switches?
Low profile key switches have the obvious advantage of being smaller than MX switches…but the problem is that silent options, especially if you’re into tactile switches, are seemingly nonexistent unless I’m missing anything?
You're viewing a single thread.
AFAIK, you are not missing anything, although there is some work being done by lowprokb.ca (toward a silent linear choc switch, then maybe later a tactile one).
Also there exist (somewhat tedious) mods to make choc switches silent: tape mod and its variant with dental floss.
100% - can confirm very very tedious. I taped, lubed, and removed the stabilizer bar on a set of choc red and blacks - they are much much much quieter and smoother. They still have bottom out noise but may not be possible to totally mitigate without bumpers like in mx silent stems.
