What does "silent" or "low noise" mean in terms of a topre mechanism? (91Ubk-S) Is it a lighter switch? Dampened? I'm not sure, and I didn't see where it was discussed in the wiki. Thanks!

I think the foam ring dampens the rebound of the switch, but as a result of this mod the switch actuates earlier.

The foam rings are factory installed?

Yep, the foam rings are factory installed on the silent models.

Does anyone have a picture of them?

ScarFace made a good review on that.

There is a whole topic on the low-noise Realforce.

Next time, for the ultra silent, they should remove the spring.
