Frequently asked
How quiet is the Yamatake Light?
Very quiet. The silicone-infused stem dampens both the bottom-out and the upstroke, so it is among the quieter silent tactiles you can buy while still giving a real bump.
Is the tactile bump strong?
No — it is a light, rounded bump, hence the "Light" name. It is there for feedback rather than a sharp snap, which suits shared spaces and offices.
Do these come lubed?
Yes, they ship factory lubed with improved silencing, so they are ready to use out of the box.
