Kailh Midnight Switch Pro Series (MX Silent)

The linear version offers a smooth, consistent keystroke from top to bottom, while the tactile version provides a subtle, noticeable bump during the press to confirm actuation. Both share the same 40gf actuation force, so the primary difference is purely the physical feedback you feel under your fingertips.

These are standard MX-compatible switches, meaning they will fit the vast majority of mechanical keyboards that use hot-swappable or solderable MX-style sockets. Because they feature a 5-pin design, they offer extra stability, but they can also be installed in 3-pin boards by simply clipping off the two plastic guide pins if necessary.

No, these switches come factory pre-lubed. They are ready to install directly out of the box, providing a consistent, smooth feel and reduced friction without the need for manual application.

The integrated muffler pad system is specifically engineered to dampen the sound of the stem hitting the housing, significantly reducing the 'clack' associated with standard mechanical switches. While they won't make your keyboard completely silent, they are excellent for office environments or shared spaces where you want to minimize typing noise.

Not at all. The switches feature a transparent PC upper housing designed specifically to allow light to pass through clearly. They also support SMD LEDs, ensuring your keyboard's backlighting remains bright and vibrant.
