The Moksae silent linear switch is the newest MX style silent linear switch made by HMX. Different from the Silent Sakura switches, the Moksae switches come with a MX stem and a double-shot stem as a better silencing mechanism. These switches are perfect for daily typing duties and office work. They are silent enough not to bother your colleagues, and the bottom-out feel is not mushy, which means they won't bother you either. You can enjoy a quiet and mushy-free typing experience with these switches – Unikeys. | This is a customized Kailh Midnight Silent V2 switch with a spring custom made by Yusha Kobo. While inheriting the characteristics of the Kailh Midnight Silent V2, we changed to a 35g spring, favorite of many users, and adopted a blue housing, which is the image color of the Yusha Studio – Yusha Kobo. |
