Silent Tactile Switches for Mechanical Keyboards

These Kailh Deep Sea Silent Pro Whale switches deliver a pronounced tactile bump at 60gf tactile force and 45gf operating force. The 3-pin design fits hot-swap sockets on compatible mechanical keyboards. Each pack contains 36 switches rated for 100 million keystrokes. They suit typists and gamers who want clear feedback without audible clicks.

Compatibility Check Before Ordering

Verify that your keyboard PCB supports 3-pin hot-swap sockets and tactile switch profiles. The switches require a plate or PCB with standard MX-style cutouts. Total travel is 3.6mm with 2.0mm pre-travel, so keycap clearance must accommodate full depression. No USB cable is needed for the switches themselves despite the supplier listing.

BOX Structure Durability and Daily Use

The patented BOX housing with a circular dust wall achieves IP56 dust and water resistance, protecting internals from spills and debris. Factory pre-lubrication and dual silent pads on the bottom housing and top rails keep measured noise below 35dB. Stem wobble is minimised for consistent keystrokes across long sessions.

Questions about this item

What comes in the 36-piece pack and is anything else needed to install them?

The pack contains 36 Kailh Deep Sea Silent Pro Whale tactile switches. They are 3-pin and designed for hot-swap sockets, so no soldering equipment is required.

How do I choose between the 45gf operating force and 60gf tactile force figures?

Both figures describe the same tactile switch: 45gf is the force to actuate the key, and 60gf is the peak force at the tactile bump. You do not choose between them.

What does the sub-35dB noise rating mean for daily typing?

The dual silent pads keep the switch below 35dB, making it quieter than most membrane keyboards and suitable for late-night gaming or shared offices without disturbing others.
