Where is the silent linear with 4mm of travel?

If someone could get on that please... Like instead of adding rubber material to the sliders and reducing the travel, have the bumpers be the same dimensions of a regular switch. Am I crazy?

The bumpers have to be able to compress somewhat also.
I think that the listed key travel for these switches might be without compression.

Have you tried them?  There is a very slight difference but it shouldn't really matter in normal usage..

If the important part was keeping it at 4mm exactly then yes, what you're saying makes sense.  But I'm sure the idea was to keep as much of the identical parts the same while adding a different functionality while keeping the overall feel roughly the same..and they've succeeded.

Never heard of someone who wants that switch.

It sounds like the OP just wants a Cherry silent switch without the slightly reduced travel that the silent red and black switches have.  I've used both, and there is a very slight reduction in the travel (Cherry specifies 3.7mm), but in use, I have no issues with them.  The rubber bumpers on the sliders certainly reduce travel less than either o-rings or QMX Clips.  If you want a silent linear switch, they're both good options.

White / cream dampened alps linearized ?
It's dampened on the two side, and if you want you can use the bottom housing / slider to make others alps hybrids.
