Kailh Silent switches offer gentle bottom-out and quiet operation due to an internal shock absorbing system, which reduces keystroke impacts. silent box switches, but round
New stems and tooling turned the BOX switch series round; Kailh's BOX naming scheme refers to the internal contact assembly and not stem shape. These agile switches are great for people who need low noise without sacrifices in tactility or responsiveness. Kailh also made efforts to adjust general switch feel. View Switch Collection box silent impressions Since Silent Rose and Brown switches haven't been measured by a third party, we'll include some subjective impressions. The linear version feels incredibly "close to its spring" (like a car is close to the road), light, and reasonably smooth. The tactile version is unusually tactile for a mass-market model (like a less aggressive Royal Purple switch). Both offer a quality user experience, but bottom out is virtually guaranteed. Travel distance feels like it has been reduced to accommodate dampeners. Both variants handle friction from off-center presses in a lightly factory lubed vintage-feeling way. They share a super cushy keypress bottom out as well. These switches will be available in BOX and standard stem formats with linear and tactile variants, shown below. details Surface-mount LED compatible

KAILH SWITCHES

Kailh Pro switches feature a cushioned stroke, springy return, and earlier activation than most industry standard switches. They’re also a little bit heavier than Cherry equivalents that effectively force keystroke bottom out. That makes Pro switches a compelling choice for gamers and typists who want a responsive, but minimally fatiguing, keyboard.
View Switch Collection pro purple (tactile)
Pro Purples offer medium spring resistance and Kailh’s take on an ergonomic tactile response. They’re a potential upgrade path for people who like MX Browns, especially in mixed use scenarios. The Pros are more responsive in games and offer better bottom out performance for daily typists.
pro light green (clicky + tactile)
Looking for a professional clicky switch? The Pro Light Green offers a soft, comfortably tactile keystroke and a muted click that might be OK for some office settings. Maybe. As an added bonus, you don’t need to press as far down to activate these switches.
pro burgundy (linear)
Pro Burgundies offer a nice compromise between linear Kailh Speed switches and standard models. Their early activation point might prove useful in time critical reflex-limited applications, like rhythm game macropads and audio control interfaces. Or you can use them in a keyboard.
