CHERRY MX RGB Silent RED Switch Kit, 23 Mechanical Keyboard Switches, for DIY, Hot-Swap or Gaming Keyboards, Linear Switch Without Click, Smooth to Use & Quiet

Purchased silent red. At first, I thought it was a strange feeling, but after more than a month, I've gotten pretty used to it.

Usual high quality from Cherry - some of the best switches available.

Compared to the ridiculously light actuation force key switches gamers seem to prefer, these are much harder to push. That's exactly what I needed so I don't make accidental keystrokes when typing which is really annoying. At ~80 cN actuation force, they are nearly 2x more work than other Cherry MX switches. Having tried Cherry MX Red, Speed Silver, Brown, and Black switches, these are much more harder to push, but only give fair tactile feedback which is the bump they talk about.I don't find them tiring even after a long day of typing. This is compared to 20 year-old Logitech membrane KB.I'd love to give them 5 stars, but they are much louder than my old KB. Not clicky, just fairly loud. Not really enough to distract me, but quieter would be better.I bottom out the keys when typing, and there are two definite sounds coming out. First, there's the normal keystroke noise of the keyswitch hitting bottom. I put a desk pad under the KB and it makes a big difference in reducing the noise of the keystroke.There's also a ringing sound which I assume is from the springs. If I brush one of the keys and release it cleanly, the ringing sound is much more noticeable. The desk pad didn't do anything to reduce the ringing. I may install some O-rings in them to see if that helps matters.FYI, I'm using these in a Mountain Everest Max KB, one of the few hot-swappable gaming keyboards out there.

I like the weight not too heavy spring - weighted not too heavy or mushy I'd say just about right on bounce. Nice feedback. click is there; there is no mistaking that you are using blues. Only swapped out my number pad with these blues. like them a lot. If they hold up might swap out the letter keys as well for more blues or green even.

The switch is very good and durable. It came with bent pins but I placed it back in its place and still works. Colors a bit boring but I don’t care much about color. Overall it’s worth the money.

As described! I use these for 3D printed fidgets and they are exactly what I was looking for.

Switched that were in good shape work. I Ordered 3 boxes one box the switches were just thrown into the box not within the cardboard cutout for each switch. I had a dozen or so that had bent prongs and several that had prongs that were broken.

These sound great. They're pretty easy to install. Function just like my old ones but better. Just as bright if not brighter than my old ones. They seem to be pretty good quality
