Which cherry mx switch is the quietest.
Cherry silent red switches vs red.
Cherry mx red is the first type of switch made for games and is the most common switch you ll find in gaming keyboards.
The quietest cherry switch is called the silent red switch.
It is basically the same as the red switch but with a rubber dampener inside.
I was wondering if someone could advise on the relative dis advantages on cherry mx brown and red silent switches.
It is basically the same as the red but it has rubber dampeners inside which quietens the little bit of noise the switch makes when it returns to its default position.
If you are looking for the quietest cherry mx switch you should look for the less common silent red pink switch.
It is a pink colored switch.
They feature a total travel of 4 0mm and an actuation point of 2 0mm so you only need to press the key halfway down to activate it.
Many of the keyboards i think of getting come with browns and if i got one i was planning on also buying o rings to dampen the sound i am more interested in the haptics rather than the sound of the keyboard.
