Click Inc SLP 35g

Quick Summary

The Click Inc SLP 35g is a featherlight silent linear aimed at typists who want speed and near-silence in the same package. A 35g actuation force, a UPE-blended stem and built-in stem dampening make it one of the quieter, lighter options in its class. If you want a soft, muted, low-effort keypress and don’t need the snap of a tactile bump, it is a solid pick.

Specs and Feel

This is a fully linear switch with no bump or click, just a smooth glide from top to bottom. Travel is short of MX standard at roughly 1.5mm to actuation and 3.6mm total, so it bottoms out a touch sooner than a typical linear, which pairs naturally with the light 35g/45g spring weighting. The UPE component in the POM stem gives it a slick, almost buttery downstroke, and the factory lube keeps things consistent across the board with little scratch creeping through.

The defining trait is the silencing. Stem-integrated pads soak up both the bottom-out and the return, so what’s left is a soft, padded thock rather than a sharp clack, closer to a muffled cushion than a hollow tap. Stem wobble is well controlled in the polycarbonate-top, POM-bottom housing, with only minor lateral play that won’t bother most builds.

Tuning

These come factory lubed and are ready to use straight away. If you chase total silence, a films pass and a light spring lube can tame any faint spring ping, but the housing itself rarely needs intervention. For most builds, drop them in and enjoy.

Verdict

Pick this up if you want a genuinely quiet board without going to silent tactiles, and if you prefer a light spring you can fly across. The short travel and 35g weighting reward fast typists and quiet offices alike. Skip it only if you like a heavier, more deliberate keypress or crave the acoustic feedback of a louder linear. This switch is built to disappear, and it does that well.
