I've had my MX Silent Reds (Pink stem) in a Filco TKL for about 3 months now.
I can't speak for how they feel with stock keycaps because I've had an SA profile set on it from the beginning.
I really really dig the way this board feels with SA keycaps; very satisfying. And although I can't figure out why, they are especially nice when I typed with heavy hand. I guess it's the satisfying slight cushion when bottoming out.
If you need quiet and you tend to type on the heavy side, this should be a nice switch for you. :thumb:
Now I need to try some silvers! Just need someone to get them in stock.

Did you experience any hand fatigue at first?

Actually I did have fatigue. I had to learn how to type differently on them. I don't know why, but I can't type like on a normal switch with accuracy. The force curve feels very different from reds to me. If I try to type without bottoming out, yes it is fatiguing. They are a unique experience that I would recommend over other switches only if you need something quiet.

Yeah I'm typing on silent reds now actually. :D
I like them so far, but I would also like to try the speed switches out.
