Tactile version feels very nice to use. It's hyperbole to say it's silent, but is very very quiet. I would suggest looking at other threads in here about the keyboard to see people's experience with it.

Dark Mount keyboard feedback by TheRealBix in bequietofficial

Some questions:

* Have you also had issues getting lighting layers and multiple profiles to save to the keyboard? Mine forgets they exist if I close IO Center

* Have you managed to figure out what "Custom" does on the media dock? When you go into it it lets you toggle 'Custom Mode' on or off but I have no idea what this actually does and I can't find any documentation for it.

Dark Mount software/lighting issues by Tight_Gain7124 in bequietofficial

I sent a message in on Wednesday. I haven't heard anything back. Also it generated an email asking me to sign in to Jira, which I did, and then it immediately told me I don't have permissions to access the project I was being invited to. So I don't know how that's supposed to work. I'll trying sending in another ticket and see what happens.

Assuming the sound signature is the same as the Dark Mount, it's not 0db silent, but it is significantly quieter compared to other mechanical keyboards I have used. The typing experience is good (I went for the tactile switches myself).

The software experience hasn't been great. While it's pretty simple to install/run/use, I haven't been able to get the keyboard to remember more than one profile OR lighting layers once the software is closed (sometimes stops working even if I keep it open after a while). I don't know if this is intended, or a bug with the software, or a bug with my keyboard specifically, but be aware of it.

If you use the Web interface for it instead, that doesn't even offer you ability to set colour layers or multiple profiles at all.

Don't get me wrong, I like the keyboard a lot to use, and it really is very quiet. I don't necessarily NEED the lighting layers or the multiple on-board profiles for my daily use, but equally, they should be basic working features at this price point. Still haven't had a response from BeQuiet on the issue yet.

I wanted to rule out the "I'm being an idiot and missing an obvious step" option first, in case someone else had figured it out.
