Gateron Silent Switches

Gateron Silent Switches are MX-compatible, standard-profile silent switches featuring built-in sound dampeners to reduce typing noise. By placing sound-dampening pads directly on the stem, this design minimizes the impact noise when bottoming out as well as the plastic sound on the upstroke. The construction pairs a transparent top housing with a milky white bottom housing.

✅ Silent design that suppresses both bottom-out and return noise thanks to the built-in dampening pads on the stem ✅ Features a transparent top housing, allowing keyboard LED backlighting to shine through ✅ 3-pin design that can be directly installed on most hot-swappable PCBs
