    dont care if its mushy or whatever, just want them to be silent as possible, at any cost.
    to me the stock silent red sounds more silent than lubed red switches.

    Insane that silent switches are still obscenely loud. You’d think there’s a market for keys that feel nice to press but aren’t doing to disrupt a meeting or disturb a roommate.

      The keyboard i used for many years used brown switches which are more of a quiet/silent type with a tactile bump. I really enjoyed them but my keyboard literally just died on me so I'm in the market for a replacement. I think I'm leaning towards the corsair k70 rbg TKL. I've always had a fullsize keyboard but idont think i will miss out on the keypad so i want to try TKL. the only thing is this keyboard doesnt have the option for brown switches so ive gotta choose between Reds/Silents/Speed switches. I'm probably going to get the silents but I need to see what the speeds are like.

      The actual noise is not from the switch, it's from you bottoming out the keys. Buy some o-rings to halt key travel.

      I need a silent keyboard too because I work from midnight to dawn. Many people say the red switch sounds silent, after I tried it it turned out it was still too noisy.
      It's quite difficult to find silent-red switches in my country, so I opted to go back to the rubber dome and regret it. lol
      I'll try the silent-red switch later.

      @@Paraclef If you are looking for a silent switch, you can try Akko Haze Pink or Gateron Silent Yellow. The quality and durability of Akko is better, when I used Gateron, some switches started double typing within a month, maybe bad QC or factory defect.

    I think the red silent sound a bit mushy, but I only tested red normal in real life. If someone thinks normal red sounds nice but a bit too loud or onboxious, you should try brown switches. They're almost the same but brown is overly softer in my opinion.

    Hate to say it but I'm still going to prefer o-rings.
    The feel you get from Cherry Blue with o-rings almost completely transforms the experience, cutting about 1mm off the keytravel means the "click" is almost at the bottom of the keystroke now and actuation feels much more rapid by eliminating key throw after actuation, and with a rubber bottom your fingers "bounce" off the keyboard which I think improves typing speed.

      lubed red switches, that i´ve watched from youtube, dont sound as silent as silent reds to me.
      ive watched akko radiant red switch lubed video,
      gateron red switch lubed,
      rk red switch lubed.
      none of them are as silent as stock silent red switches to me.

      as a user of mx silent red in corsair k70 for 6 years, I must say that everything depends on the design of the keyboard. The k70 silent switches are not that quiet at all, you can hear the metallic ping transmitted through the aluminum construction. I totally agree that they give an uninteresting squishy feel

      normalmente os leds são do teclado, não tem relação nenhuma com os switches. Não sei como você pode repara-lós, mas pode ver se seu teclado ainda está na garantia e ver se pode trocá-lo.

    @Th3Darkn3s Год назад +9

    The trick with red switches is to be able to type with reasonable accuracy and speed without violently bottoming out the keys, if you lube the stabilizers on any red switch keyboard, put some foam in it and type with some restraint you can make it sound very office appropriate. The silent reds sound pretty awful to type on and do not accomplish anything that the above mods cannot.
