GK GAMAKAY Phoenix Linear Silent Keyboard Switch with LED Diffuser for Backlit Mechanical Keyboard 5 Pin Pre-lubed Switches for DIY (Phoenix Switch-35Pcs)

I had Gateron Brown switches on my Alice-layout keyboard before putting these on.I wanted a switch that required more force than the browns, but didn't want the loud clicks of a blue switch. I purchased these because they were a cost-effective way to try out a firmer press that doesn't have the noise level of traditional blues. I honestly planned on upgrading to a higher-end switch if I liked it, but frankly, I love the feel of these so much that I am going to abandon the plan to upgrade and keep them. Good firm key press with a tactile bump at the bottom.All-in-all I am very pleased, especially at the price point.

These are really great and comfortable keys. The quality is consistent with every single one, I do not feel any different resistance or sound from any of the keys. Installation was easy -- however, note that these do have the plastic tabs on the back. For my Glorious GMMK hotswap keyboard, I had to remove those plastic tabs. It was very simple to do and there was no additional damage to the switches after I removed those tabs. Installation was a snap after that (pun intended). I only purchased enough for my letter, number, and function keys so I am buying more for the rest of my keyboard. I will probably always use these switches if I ever get a new keyboard. These feel so good. Some resistance so I don't accidentally press buttons, but no clicky, and a very smooth typing experience. Also a really great value compared to many other brands of switches.

Just got these today and put them into my RK ROYAL KLUDGE S98 Mechanical Keyboard that I also purchased here on Amazon. The keyboard came with creamy switches which sounded okay but I wanted switches that would allow me to type late at night if I needed to without disturbing my husband since my home office is right next to our bedroom. They're quiet. Not the most silent probably but I love the feel of these. They're not super mushy or anything but there is a difference in the feel of the creamy switches and these. If you've ever used a Logi K270 (which I have to use for work) it's kind of like that. This significantly dampens the sound of my typing. I am not at all worried that I'll bother my husband if I stay up late working now. Since I just got them, I have no idea of their longevity however if I do have issues, I'll update my review. All of the switches that I put in worked too, none of them ended up being duds. If you want affordable, quiet switches these are it!

Quiet and soft tactile switch. If your priority is silent, these are absolutely amongst the quietest for the money. Tactile bump is on the softer side.

I tried 6 different silent switches in my search of finding office friendly silent switches for my Keychron V6 Max. I tried some cheaper ones and more expensive ones and the Gamakay Pegasus switches are the ones I liked most. Obviously the big problem with silent switches is the mushy feeling. These of course are not as firm as non-silent switches, but they are not nearly as mushy as some of the others I tried like Penguins. They have a nice weight, but not too much (like Shrimps). And the tactile shape is nice. Yes, they're silent, and yes of course they have a tiny bit of mush to them because of it. But the shape of the tactile feels nice and definitely compensates for the slight mush while making them enjoyable to type on. Now I can have the bliss of a mechanical keyboard in the office, but without annoying my co-workers while I chunk away on my favorite non-silent switches. I type HEAVY, and they barely make a peep, but the tactile shape makes up for the lack of sound feedback.I have a full week on them now and I love them for office use.Edit: I got so used to them at work I added them to my at home board now too. Love these switches.

I'm a die hard linear switch guy. I was introduced to Cherry MX black switches many many years ago, didn't like the arm fatigue due to the higher actuation force needed, and switched to Cherry MX reds instead. Never looked back. 45g and linear was my sweet spot. Buddy of mine got me onto Gateron Reds and they were much nicer than the Cherry MX reds. I've rocked Gateron Reds for a few years now, but had that itch to build another keyboard and didn't want to spend $40 for a set of switches.Enter the Gamakay Mercury.Super smooth typing experience and the five pin design made them very stable with no wobble. I've always avoided non-clear housings because any backlighting from your keyboard will get altered from the switch housing (white backlight with a red switch housing will cause your backlight to be red/pink). Even though these have a gold housing, the LED diffuser that is built into the switch eliminates that completely. Colors come through clean and clear. Coupled with their price, it drives a really hard bargain.I really enjoyed these switches and would highly recommend them!
