The Cherry MX Silent Red and Silent Black switches are engineered for ultra-quiet, smooth keystrokes—ideal for workspaces, gaming, and typing-focused builds.
These switches feature Cherry's proprietary silent technology to reduce noise at both the top and bottom of each keystroke. The 3-pin PCB mount design is compatible with a wide range of hot-swappable mechanical keyboards and supports 2-pin LED installations.
Both switch types offer a linear feel with no tactile bump, giving you smooth, uninterrupted key travel from top to bottom.
