mutedFrequently asked
Are the Gateron Silent Black 60g switches good for an office?
Yes. The stem and leg dampeners absorb most of the bottom-out impact, so the loudest part of a normal keystroke is gone. They are among the more practical choices for a shared workspace without going to a fully silenced tactile.
How heavy do the Silent Black 60g switches feel?
At a 60g actuation they sit a touch heavier than the common 45-50g linears. The weight is steady through the whole stroke, which makes them feel deliberate rather than fast, and helps cut down on accidental presses.
Do these switches need lube?
They run smoothly enough stock for most people. A light hand-lube on the rails tightens up the feel and removes any faint stem-to-housing friction, but it is optional rather than a fix for a real problem.
