GK GAMAKAY Saturn Linear Mechanical Keyboard Switch, GamaKay Switch 5 Pin Pre-lubed Switches for DIY Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (Saturn Swicth-45Pcs)

Okay, so a coworker complained, my other linear switches were "too loud". But I don't want to be that guy, so I pick up these switches. Here's the lowdown: - Beautiful looking switches, even though you won't see them after installation - They have a transparent piece that helps the LED shine through, which I haven't had on switches before. The difference is noticeable. - Easy to install, great quality control and durability, fits great, and so on - They sound really nice, erring on the side of a membrane keyboard underneath a blanket. They do sound good, don't get me wrong, but clearly you got these because they're quiet and muffled and not because you want the nice "clicky clicky" sounds. - They feel AMAZING. "Quiet" and "Tactile" usually don't go together, but this is the exception. Although the sound is muffled the feel is perfect. So if you're in an office or have people around you that are very sensitive to sounds, these are excellent.

These are really great and comfortable keys. The quality is consistent with every single one, I do not feel any different resistance or sound from any of the keys. Installation was easy -- however, note that these do have the plastic tabs on the back. For my Glorious GMMK hotswap keyboard, I had to remove those plastic tabs. It was very simple to do and there was no additional damage to the switches after I removed those tabs. Installation was a snap after that (pun intended). I only purchased enough for my letter, number, and function keys so I am buying more for the rest of my keyboard. I will probably always use these switches if I ever get a new keyboard. These feel so good. Some resistance so I don't accidentally press buttons, but no clicky, and a very smooth typing experience. Also a really great value compared to many other brands of switches.

Just got these today and put them into my RK ROYAL KLUDGE S98 Mechanical Keyboard that I also purchased here on Amazon. The keyboard came with creamy switches which sounded okay but I wanted switches that would allow me to type late at night if I needed to without disturbing my husband since my home office is right next to our bedroom. They're quiet. Not the most silent probably but I love the feel of these. They're not super mushy or anything but there is a difference in the feel of the creamy switches and these. If you've ever used a Logi K270 (which I have to use for work) it's kind of like that. This significantly dampens the sound of my typing. I am not at all worried that I'll bother my husband if I stay up late working now. Since I just got them, I have no idea of their longevity however if I do have issues, I'll update my review. All of the switches that I put in worked too, none of them ended up being duds. If you want affordable, quiet switches these are it!

I've been daily driving these switches since February, 2024. So about 8 months. They have been great, super quiet, and exactly what I wanted. The only problem is that after about 6 months I started to notice an issue with them that would cause repeated presses that would worsen with time, specific keys that were more often used. I'm a software engineer, so there are certain keys I press a lot, tab, brackets, certain letters. I've replaced these switches with my extras a couple times over the last couple months. Eventually I gave in a replaced all the letters with my backup switches, which is unfortunate because I really enjoyed the sound and feel of these. I recommend these switches, but maybe purchase two packs for spares. TLDR; Great switches with a nice feel and super quiet, but will wear down over time with heavy use.

I got these because I game next to my gf and she spams buttons playing wow. With the og blue switches I was going crazy. With these? Near silence. The mouse is louder. When my keyboard went haywire and I used her keyboard, it was still responsive enough for fps games. I like more of a tactile click feel and while this still does have it, I preferred my HE keyboard for reactivity. Still, for a quiet build these are top tier. The sound they do make is very thocky and lower pitched. They're easily the best tactile switches for the price for gamers that require silence. They also shine through very well considering.

Recently bought the Aula 75% keyboard, and it came with LEObog Reaper linear switches. Although they sounds beautiful to your ears, wondering creamy/thocky and felt amazing and easy to type with, I needed a silent linear switch. I type very fast, and hearing all that thock and sound at high speeds is too distracting and noisy for my coworkers lol. I did some reviews on YouTube to decide which silent switches to try, and these Gamakay Phoenix linear silents switches are amazing ! Very quiet, and like any silent switch they're not actually 100% silent, but they're really really quiet, and I still get to hear a little bit of the tippy tippy typing noises to feel like it's super cute sounding without being loud at all. Love love love these. They do feel good too, easy to type with, and you don't have to type hard for the key to activate a typed letter, you can type lightly if you want and everything appears fine.... or you can type super hard too if you want, and it's still very very quiet overall... not clack or annoying. These are wonderful, and affordably priced. Highly recommended. I prefer linear switches over tactile switches, so these were perfect for me.

I tried 6 different silent switches in my search of finding office friendly silent switches for my Keychron V6 Max. I tried some cheaper ones and more expensive ones and the Gamakay Pegasus switches are the ones I liked most. Obviously the big problem with silent switches is the mushy feeling. These of course are not as firm as non-silent switches, but they are not nearly as mushy as some of the others I tried like Penguins. They have a nice weight, but not too much (like Shrimps). And the tactile shape is nice. Yes, they're silent, and yes of course they have a tiny bit of mush to them because of it. But the shape of the tactile feels nice and definitely compensates for the slight mush while making them enjoyable to type on. Now I can have the bliss of a mechanical keyboard in the office, but without annoying my co-workers while I chunk away on my favorite non-silent switches. I type HEAVY, and they barely make a peep, but the tactile shape makes up for the lack of sound feedback. I have a full week on them now and I love them for office use. Edit: I got so used to them at work I added them to my at home board now too. Love these switches.

I bought the Mars switches for 3 reasons Weight, light diffusion, and style. These switches look so nice but that’s really where the buck stops. I only paid $1.25 for 90 switches due to a discount which is why I’m not so bothered by the issues I’ve had, but I will most likely not buy anymore GK switches for the following reasons. First off, they sound pretty good, the tactile bump could be more prominent, and the heaviness’s is actually really decent as I am a heavy handed typist. The quality is okay, I already cracked 2 switches’ top housings and lost a light diffuser in one of them. The pins do bed easily as well. The shine through is very good and makes RGB shine brighter, even with the matte bottom housings. The biggest issue (which seems to be commonly mentioned in the reviews) is that these switches have trouble fully seating into the cutouts in keyboards, especially when they are plastic. I don’t have a board with a metal plate mount which I feel like these would fit into better. While not a bad switch, you can do much better going with Akko, Gateron, even Epomaker or Leobog. If you’re looking for something more tailored to your preference, go look on Milktooth. There you can order almost any switch and will find something you will personally enjoy. Also, on Milktooth you order in increments of 10 and save yourself some money by getting a near exact amount of switched. If you do buy GK switches, temper your expectations a bit. but if you don’t have any of these aforementioned issues, you’ll probably have satisfactory results.
