Product details

Silent switches usually feel mushy. Kailh got around that with dampening rings on both sides of the stem instead of a housing packed with silicone. You get 35dB or less with keycaps on, and a keystroke you can still feel.

Every switch comes lubed from the factory, so they type smooth out of the box, and you never need to open them up.

The switch is 12.3mm tall, roughly 40% shorter than a normal mechanical switch, and still takes standard MX keycaps. Gold contacts hold the actuation steady for 50 million keystrokes. Hammer out 10,000 a day and you'll still be typing on these in 13 years.

Whale MINI - silent tactile, 45gf. You feel a bump at the actuation point.

Islet MINI - silent linear, 43gf. Smooth the whole way down.

Pink Islet MINI - silent linear, 35gf, if you want a lighter press for those long days at the office.

Fits hot-swappable low-profile keyboards with the Kailh Choc V2 socket.
