silents tactiles are some of my favorite switches of all time, theyre so soft and pillowey

[BenWayward]

Dived deep into silent tactiles and tested many of them. My top 2 options are TTC Silent Bluish White and Outemu Silent Cream Jade (V3 version of Cream Yellow). But i want a lighter bottom out, so I swapped springs to 40g for every option. In my opinion TTC has good long 2-stage spring, but too heavy in bottomout for me, and Outemu Jade has very strange short spring (it is too heavy and lacks snappy bottom out).

I was just looking up silent switches for an office keyboard right as you uploaded this.

TTC silent bluish whites are my fav for office!

Glad I found your channel and shop, made the process of testing and selecting a new switch to go with for my Halo65 much easier in this saturated and overwhelming switch market!

When I first got into keyboards, Cherry was pretty much the only switch out there besides a few clones, I've been typing on MX Clears for over 7 years now so trying out some of the newer stuff that's come out more recently has been a fun experience.

Just bought Gateron Quinns from your shop after trying and comparing a half dozen other tactile switches. Their tactility, sound, and feel are just fantastic for me, perfect for a heavy typist who uses a keyboard all day to code, and then game after work. U4Ts came in close second. Tried some heavier Aliaz tactile silents too and just came away feeling that the lack of clacky/thocky sound was taking away a large part of the satisfaction of typing on a mech keyboard for me, but I'm sure they're perfect for an office environment.

Hey @milktoothnu big fan of your videos and bigger fan of your store. You have a large pool of knowledge and experience that pairs well with the style of your videos. The cuts you had in this video that were more cropped in with a lot of kinetic activity, like rifling through the switches. Really liked the way they changed up the pace, compared to what you normally see in a keeb video (reminds me of ants working in a colony or like a beehive). Super refreshing and cool to see the switch up. Layer these elements over your established tone and style and you get this super engaging visual documentary piece about a keyboard switch. Love it man.

I use limes, love them, my hands are not fatigued even playing fps games for 6+ hours. and i dont wake up my mother and sister at night

[joryblock]

love when you post! Limes for life. Picked up my limes from Milktooth too.

Your vids are awesome and my go-to when choosing switches. I'd advise using a highpass filter on your audio files though at 70 or 80Hz or better Mic-isolation from your desk. With bass intense headphones in a crouded setting, most of what you're hearing is intense booming when you crank up the volume.

I tried mor than 12 silent switches, my favorite ones are the TTC Blueish White and WS Silent Tactile because they feel not padded or muted, the travel distance is very satisfying. If you prefer a heavier feel go with the WS Silent tactile, if you prefer a light bump go with the blueish white. The sound is not much different if you work in a normal office with a lot of PC& poron foam build, which I'd recommend over a no foam, alu plate.

I think the Bluish Whites are still a little too heavy. I think I saw someone on Reddit compare them to the Outemu Limes, where the Bluish Whites have like a "D" bump, where the Outemu Limes have a "þ" bump.
Usually I use the linears TTC Frozen Silents or whatever they're called, and I extremely recommend those.

Thanks for your Akko video! You got me to order some from you

[yensteel]

I’m using the Lichicx Raws light tactile. They’re a little louder than others, but not as much as the Silent Bluish Whites. I like them a lot. Moved from the Boba U4 out of boredom.

[raso]

I've tried the Outemu Lime, and TTC Silent Bluish White switches

I liked the feel and silence of the Outemu Lime switches, but I'm currently using the Bluish White because the Lime switches were very difficult to open

[GetMyNerdOn]

Definitely looking forward to checking out more silent switches once the at home tests are available again. I tried out about a dozen different ones a while ago and just couldn't get into it

[OgSwisszyed]

thanks to your videos I got the lime and they are great, perfect for my office keyboard, i hope you also do a silent linear also, thanks milktooth

[AAurum-yyrv]

Idk how to explain it but the penguins actually have me thinking of the noise of penguins walking

[Zahlzeit]

Great video as always, especially the quality of the sound tests and the back to back comparison at the end

[seanlee]

milkthooth posted a video today. today is a good day.

Dude, where is Outemu Silent Yellow Jade, or at least Silent cream yellow?
Penguin are the best at silence as I hear of the video. Thanks
