Silent tactile switches

I think you’ll like the Silent Lemons - an above-average silent with a below-average price, even when they aren’t on sale.

Just some more info:

TTC made this kinda confusing; the half-dampened Bluish White came first, and like a year later they released a fully silent version simply called Silent Bluish White - and from more than a few inches away they look identical. There is a slight visual difference, though:

If you look at the middle switch in the photo there, both the silver spring and silicone dampener are visible through the clear housing; these are the fully-silent ones.

The half-dampened ones have a gold spring instead, and don’t have that silicone stripe between the cross-mount and spring.

A few places have them; here’s one vendor’s page:

As an aside, JWK made the opposite version of this - a loud long-pole switch with a silenced top-out. They’re great quality but I found them pretty disorienting to use - way weirder than the half-silent Bluish White. :stuck_out_tongue:
