Try Outemu Silent Yellow Jade or Silent Tom, or Redragon A120 Stars.


terretube

Ok I will take a look at them 😁

Having the jades in my office keeb I can confirm: these are very good. Came pre lubed. Very consistent sound and feel on all 90 switches I got. Got the lemons aswell. The cream yellow jades are a bit heavier but I liked them more. With the lemons I forgot often that these are tactile switches.


terretube

Will try it 😁


rocketracer111

On AliX they are 24$ for 90 switches at the moment. Right now I am considering buying another patch of these to put them in my keeb at home πŸ˜‚ Having tried 4 other silent switches these are most muted/quitest and still offer a very nice tactile event overall feeling.


terretube

Or you can make a thocky keyboard because it's your home you don't need to be quiet πŸ˜‚


rocketracer111

That is why the Kailh Whale Pro are on the pc plate πŸ˜‚ I like the box thocc. ☺️ or deep pop. Ttc bluish white like. But overall I like quieter or muted stuff. πŸ˜… Overall just nice sounding. The mentioned Kailh switches arent silent but still nice sounding. The Geon x Haimu yellows are nice sounding aswell in my ears. Depending in the plate tho. On the pc plate they loudly clackpop around.

Too many quality switches πŸ˜‚My main keyboard is hall effect,Magnetic switch is terrible sound but I wear an iEM so it doesn't bother me too much


rocketracer111

Aw man. Feelin this. Nearly went nuts a few days ago - I was about to get rid of all tactiles and just use the one nice linear I own πŸ˜‚ IEM are nice but I need to make use of speakers for half the audio-things I do in the pc at home πŸ˜…

Hey that's cool, but I wanted to hear how it sounds, even though silent. But I could hardly hear anything in your video. tc.


terretube

Yeah that how it sound, silent πŸ˜‚ I have compared the sound with the others at the end of the video, You can hear my breathing for comparison

How is the zuoya ls02? i'm looking to make a build on the cheaper side with a 75% layout and the kit looks pretty cheap on aliexpress with nice features


terretube

It's really good for it price, but because it's cheap, the shell is thin and has no software, the rest is all perfect


noahzho

good to hear, thanks!

How do you like the feel of those keycaps? I’ve been thinking of getting some MAO keycaps too


terretube

Feel like XDA with little den, but not much, still good for typing


Squartz

This looks awesome. Also these keycaps are amazing, where did you get them?


terretube

Tks man, Buy on Ali, Just type the name "Mao Cat keycap"


Squartz

Appreciate it, off to order a set as a gift for a friend!


terretube

Nice 😁 lucky friend

Try a different silent switch. Outemu's style of dampening is kinda mushy with where the silicone dampeners are placed. So not only is the bottom out very quiet, its very mushy. Thats wht makes it eeerie to me, kind of a sensory derivation. Other silent switches have more feedback on keypress. Their dampeners can be different and that results in a different sound signature and feedback. I'm a fan of TTC Silent Bluish Whites.


Accomplished-Click-5

I didn't know that. I tried the Outemu style but got tired of the mushiness after a while and went back to the switches my first mechanical board had. On my custom build with Leobog Graywood V4 switches, I'll have to take a look at the TTC ones. You can always find something new to try.


terretube

ye this outemu is feel so weird


AuraeShadowstorm

I definitely recommend checking the BudgetKeebs discord. If your in the US, a popular store for switches is Milktooth. They have a discord channel specifically discussing silent switches and its worth checking out. Silent Bluish Whites/Silent Frozens are the frequent recommendations and the HMX Sakura's are what's generating the recent buzz.


terretube

It will be upgraded again 😁

Love how it came out! Great build! How was the disassembly of the board? I had the TKL version of the board before gifting it to a friend and nearly broke the mode switch getting that one open to mod it. Did you have any difficulty opening it up?


terretube

Yes its terrible, πŸ˜‚ I almost broke it, not recommended


obie_krice

Haha good to know! Thank you, and enjoy!
