GK GAMAKAY Phoenix Silent Linear Keyboard Switch with LED Diffuser for Backlit Mechanical Keyboard 5 Pin Pre-lubed Switches for DIY (Phoenix V2 Switch-70Pcs)

I'll just get right to it.This are just great switches if you want silent tactile north facing switches.They're about as quiet and you can expect from a switch, with a higher-pitched sound that seems hushed. The tactile bump is enough if you have strong hands, no pinging...They would be PERFECT though if the bottom housing wasn't opaque.I like my pudding caps, and as much as these keys give me the feels, the pudding caps are really only lit on the top 1/3 of the key. The characters look just fine, but There's like a hard line where the RGB LED shines at the top, and the almost kinda sorta barely lit cap facing me. I still give them 5 stars because 4.5 ain't a thang. If I wasn't tragically in love with ye olde puddin' caps, I'd have ordered a full set of these within 5 minutes.

I bought these to make sure I wouldn't make much noise while typing, however I did run into some issues that made me return them. As stated in the title, these switches are truly silent, and the mushiness didn't bother me, yet the bottom housing isn't clear, letting less RGB or even just pure white backlighting come out.Removing them was a bit odd, because unless you make sure the switch puller attaches well to the bottom housing, you may accidentally partially wedge up the segment that has a wide hole that is used to give more light from the RGB go through in spite of the bottom housing. They stay in tightly, possibly too tight in all honesty. I also bent some stems (fixing them later of course) while inserting a few oddly enough, compared to the original switches I placed which were easier to insert, yet were not loose whatsoever.The biggest issue regarding this switch for me is that it's too light to press, especially for what I'm looking for in a tactile switch. Of course you can easily buy heavier springs to offset this, however the other personal issues I discussed above in combination with this made me return these sets.

After installation, I like how silent the switches are. They are working for their intended purpose. I have a lot of Zoom calls and my other keyboard was making too much noise as I took notes during the meetings, so I changed them out to these silent switches. The only complaint is that some of the switches (about 10) had bent connectors so I could not use them.

Son loved it.

The spacebar, backspace and enter keys are not silent. Specially the space bar is pretty loud. The rest of the keys are silent. All the keys have an excellent look and feeling.
