Comments on TTC Frozen V2 Silent (TTC Silent Glacier) switches | Comments on HMX Sakura switches |
Characterized by its extremely quiet sound profile, these Silent Frozen switches are also super smooth and have a pillowy type feel – Milktooth. The TTC Frozen Silent v2 features a double-silencing mechanism to reduce noise when typing. Ideal to use in offices, libraries and public areas. Same as the TTC Golden Pink Switch and very quiet – Chosfox. | The HMX Silent Sakura switch is the first silent HMX linear switch that I know of. According to Mage Studio, these switches come with a great balance between being quiet and having a great typing feel; They don't feel as mushy as most silent switches are, and the bottom-out is very comfy. They might not be the quietest silent switch, but they are one of the best silent switches to type on – Unikeys. |
