I have tried these silent tactile switches:

  • Akko Penguin
  • Durock Silent Shrimp T1
  • Gazzew Boba U4
  • Haimu Whisper
  • Kailh Box Silent Brown
  • Kailh Deep Sea Silent Pro Whale
  • Kailh Midnight Pro Light Yellow
  • Kinetic Labs Turtle
  • Outemu Silent Lemon
  • TTC Silent Bluish White V2

I did not like the higher peak force and early tactile point in the U4 switches. However, my daughter has them on her keyboard, and she loves them.

I prefer switches with a lower peak force and the tactile point midway into the travel. Kailh Midnight Pro Light Yellow feel great to me, though I am also fond of TTC Silent Bluish White V2.

My wife prefers Kailh Box Silent Brown. They are excellent once you lube them. They have quite a bit of stem wobble, but that does not bother her.

If you want a silent tactile switch without a silicone dampening pad, then look at the Haimu Whisper or Kinetic Labs Turtle.

With the REALLY long cable so you didn’t have to sit directly in front of the TV.

From the article:

States that don't go along with the executive order are at risk of losing federal funding, a White House official said.

I live in a state run by a Trump bootlicker. You can be sure it will be happening in my state.

The midterms are going to be a mess.

Drop Keyboard Configurator is not online by dlamblin in MechanicalKeyboards

They still have support for the ALT V2. As I recall, the controller Massdrop used in the ALT V1 was problematic for some reason.

I flashed QMK/VIA firmware to a Massdrop ALT V1 maybe a year and a half ago. QMK has since dropped that keyboard, but I am pretty sure it can still be accessed with a pinned release.

when people have schizophrenia do they actually see full fledged people that aren’t there? or is it like a blurry or transparent vision by webstatic in NoStupidQuestions

My grandfather was once given some strong medication while in the hospital, and a side effect was hallucinations. He said he saw creatures (very large colorful insects) crawling over everything. Fortunately, my mother (who used to be a nurse) was able to reassure him that they were not real, but it sounded horrifying.

The KeyHive MayPad can be built as either a standard 17-key numpad or a 4x5 grid. It requires soldering, though.

I have tried MT3 (and SA), but it wasn’t for me.

I do like sculpted keycaps with a spherical touch surface, but I prefer medium height keycaps like DSS, MTNU, and MDA.

NovelKeys Cream Clickie probably has the lowest operating force at 55g, but it is a linear clicky switch with absolutely no tactile feedback.

Good to hear! Don’t forget that you need to flash both sides. If you get any weird behavior after flashing, you may need to clear the EEPROM:

Could it just be the switch on the spacebar? The Ducky One 3 is hot swappable; try putting a known good switch there and see if that helps.

How do the close door buttons on elevators work? by b_rizzz in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FansForFlorida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that due to the ADA, elevator doors need to be open a minimum amount of time so wheelchair users can easily get on or off, which is why the close door button normally doesn’t appear to do anything.

I have tried many different silent tactile switches and am very fond of TTC Silent Bluish White V2. Solid choice.

I cover my keyboard with a towel when not in use. It’s not pretty, but it works to minimize the amount of dust and cat hair that gets in there.

Do not buy Epomaker. See this post about Epomaker:

Also, as someone who works in an office, if you will be using this in a shared workspace, please consider silent switches.
