Title: JSCO Noiseless Mouse JNL-006K
Post by: wendell on Mon, 17 January 2011, 18:47:07

I got one of these when I purchased a Leopold keyboard from Korea. The JSCO (http://www.jsco.co.kr/) mice are claimed to have tactile feedback without the clicky sound, like a Cherry Brown.

Most of the JSCO mice are a bit small. The JNL-006K is a new model that is more the size of mice in the West; maximum body dimensions are 116x58x36mm. Construction is noticeably lighter than my Logitech mouse, but it doesn't feel flimsy or creak.

As for the button action, it feels and sounds like a very short travel membrane switch.  It is plainly audible in a silent room, but is much quieter than a normal mouse. The scroll wheel is notched but is also very quiet.

After I tried it a while, I thought it was a bit too light for me to prefer it over my old Logitech. But going back, I find I'm now irritated by the louder clicking.

Considering the retail price in Korea is <$10, I think it's a good buy.

What's this, a downgrade from the typical audible microswitch? Do you dissemble it to confirm the existence of a rubberdome, or is just the membrane.

I guess they are soft-touch switches, for lack of a better name. These switches emit a lower-pitched click when heavily tactile, usually.
