Hmmmm it's probably similar to the Corsair MX Red Silent.

So they just add a rubber damper inside the switch housing.  From what I read they don't feel as nice stock MX Red.

I just tried these today at my local Bic Camera.

Super buttery smooth and super silent - wish we could get these switches on more boards. Deffinitley (to me) smoother than reds and felt stiffer than the browns on the kb next to this.

Comparable in feel for me to the Realforce Topre's. Yeah linear vs tactile, but in terms of smoothness and sound.

Really interested in the pink switch, have you ever tried lube vintage blacks?

Wondering how it compare with vintage blacks

I haven't had a chance to try the vintage blacks yet, but I know the blacks are just a touch too heavy for me. The pinks felt heavier than the browns just by a bit and were very muted. I've also never tried dental bands or o-rings on any of my MX's so can't compare.

I'm LTTP for the Pink switches, is that all they really are? Silent Reds with their original feel would be perfect...

Are they really pink? On the site I just see them mention red. And the pics look washed out.

One of the distributor in Asia claimed that it's pink, they're taking pre-orders

Should be both upstroke and downstroke if it's the same switch as cherry MX silent from the corsair boards

Pretty sure it's identical to the Corsair MX Silent, then you can watch this video to see:


So the silver part at the top and bottom of the slider is the dampen material.  So yes it dampen up and downstroke.

In fact this is almost identical in concept as the Matias Quiet Click switches:

Purple area is silicone dampen material.

The good thing is that it's quieter, the bad thing is that I find it less "crisp".

If it makes it here I'll probably pick one up to try out - have been interested in the cherry mx silent switches but no interest in the Corsair board.
