Silent linear switches, side by side
Silent switches trade a little crispness for a lot less noise.
| Switch type | Feel | Noise |
|---|---|---|
| Standard linear | Crisp | Loud bottom-out |
| Silent linear | Soft, damped | Quiet |
| Silent tactile | Gentle bump | Quiet, slight click on return |
The damped bottom-out feels mushy for a week and then normal.
