Silent linear switches for MX keyboards

GUYEKS ks-9 Cream Silent switches are 5-pin linear mechanical switches designed for MX-style hot-swap sockets. The pack contains 72 factory pre-lubed units aimed at builders and typists who want a quiet, smooth keystroke without additional preparation. Full POM housings and a light-guide pole support per-key RGB illumination. They suit home-office and late-night gaming setups where noise matters.

Drops into hot-swap boards and frees soldering time

Each switch uses a standard 5-pin PCB-mount footprint compatible with MX-style switch sockets, so no soldering iron is required. The integrated light-guide column works with SMD LEDs already on the board, leaving the RGB circuit untouched. Pre-applied lubrication removes the need for manual lubing stations or films. Silicone dampeners on both sides of the stem cut bottom-out noise by at least 70 percent compared with conventional shafts.

45 gf actuation with 60 million-cycle rating

Operating force is 45 ± 10 gf, pretravel 2.0 ± 0.6 mm and total travel 4.0 ± 0.3 mm, giving a light, consistent press suited to long typing sessions. The POM-on-POM construction becomes smoother with use and is rated for a minimum of 60000000 cycles. Builders needing heavier springs, tactile feedback or clicky sound profiles will need a different switch type. The 72-piece count covers most compact and tenkeyless layouts but falls short of full-size boards.

Questions about this item

How many keystrokes are these switches rated for before wear becomes noticeable?

The manufacturer specifies an operation life of 60000000 cycles minimum, so the switches are built to handle heavy daily use for years.

How much quieter is the bottom-out sound compared with a standard linear switch?

The silicone mats on both sides of the stem cut bottom-out noise by at least 70 percent, giving a much softer thock during all-day typing.

Will these fit a hot-swap board that only accepts three-pin switches?

No, they are five-pin switches and require a PCB with five-pin MX-style sockets; a three-pin-only board will not accept them.
