I tried several different silent switches and settled on Gazzew's Bobagum Silent Linear switches. Love them for my keyboard that goes to school with me.

Silent black inks were a thing, but given how much more expensive they are because of the ink housing (which is primarily for acoustics), I think it’s poor value.

Do you find them to feel mushy? I had Bobagums in my office board and really didn’t like how they felt. Since the office got pretty dead after Omicron, I ended up going fuck it and swapped them out for KTT Strawberries.

I haven’t found them to be too mushy. At least I’ve liked them much more than all the other silents I sampled.

I hope you don’t mind me asking, how does the feel compare to the other silents you’ve tried? I settled on Bobagums immediately so I have no idea what other silents are like.

I tried the Cherry MX Silent Reds and really hated them right away. They just made typing feel...gross. I also tried the Zeal Zilents. They were OK, but the price turned me away. Overall, I like the Gazzew Bobagum Silent Linears—but sometimes want to try others, just for fun.

Well, I’m glad you found some you like! Bobagums are nothing if not silent so I’m sure your classmates appreciate it.
