TTC Bluish White 42g

Quick Summary

The TTC Bluish White Silent V2 42g is a light silent tactile that actually delivers on both halves of the promise: it’s very quiet, yet it keeps a real tactile bump instead of going mushy like many dampened switches. At 42g it’s easy to type on all day. If you need a near-silent board for an office or shared space but don’t want to give up feedback, this is one of the best options out there.

Specs and Feel

This is a light silent tactile: 42g actuation, about 50g at bottom-out, with a 2.00mm pre-travel and a shortened 3.50mm total travel. The stem is a POM partial-BOX design with built-in silencing dampeners, the top housing is polycarbonate and the bottom is nylon, all factory lubed on a stainless steel spring. The partial-BOX stem is the key — it muffles both the bottom-out and the upstroke so the switch reads as muted rather than clacky, while still preserving a defined, light tactile bump. The result is a quiet keypress that doesn’t feel dead, with the dampeners doing the noise reduction without smothering the feedback.

Tuning

These are great stock and silent switches are best left alone — the factory lube is good and the silencing pads are part of the molded stem, so re-lubing risks softening the bump or gumming the dampeners. If you want even more quiet you can swap to a softer plate or add case foam rather than touching the switch itself. The only sensible internal mod is a light spring lube if you hear ping, but most users should build with these exactly as they come.

Verdict

Buy the Bluish White Silent V2 if you want a genuinely quiet keyboard that still feels tactile — it’s ideal for offices, late-night typing, or anyone sharing a room. Compared to silent linears, you get real feedback; compared to mushier silent tactiles, you keep a crisp bump. The light 42g weight makes it friendly for long typing sessions. If you crave a loud, clacky sound, look elsewhere — but for quiet tactility, this is a top pick.
