Hello kbdfans,
Nice to see you here on geekhack!

KBDFans on GH :eek:

Holy mother of smoothness. Hell yes Gateron Silent switches are here!
-
I applaud Gateron for coming out with a Silent Brown switch; however I think I am going to wait to see if Kailh delivers a silent Box option.
-
I think all switches should have been made silent on top and bottom by default.
... Especially the clicky ones because of the purpose of the click sound to indicate actuation. Without silencing, the clicks compete with other switch noises.
Although I guess you could use speakers with a silent tactile switch as long as the switch is tactile enough - but a regular Gateron Brown isn't.
Gateron Blue switches are compatible with silencing clips otherwise.

Yes, exactly! :thumb:
