Amazing feel for quiet mechanical typing

Reviewed by: William

I've tried nearly every kind of mechanical key switch (browns, blues, purples, clears, whites, yellows, silvers, "Romer G"), and these silent reds are easily my favourite of all of them, at least for typing experience. I don't know if they're factory lubricated, but they *feel* lubricated, its a pleasantly smooth and consistent resistance, with a very satisfying thunk as they bottom out, and then a speedy reset. The frame of the keyboard is also sturdily designed and well padded, which helps with having clean tactile feedback. I also have a glorious gaming keyboard which similarly has modular switches (the same type), but this might be a better implementation, the switches seemed easier to remove. I also really like the 65% form factor rather than the more common 60%, particularly for preserving the dedicated arrow keys, which I use all the time to navigate around text when I'm typing. The three other dedicated keys, PgUp, PgDn and Del, are also perfect choices, as those are the three keys I use the most from that cluster of a full size. I do wish Del was on the bottom rather than the top of the column, to correspond to where you'd feel the key on a full-size, but I can get used to it.

The keys feel stiffer to me than I was expecting for a red switch (maybe something to do with how they dampen sound?), which I think is a bit of an issue specifically for gaming. I have some 35 cN clear switches, whereas I think these are 45 cN, and the clear switches feel much faster. Maybe it's just that I'm used to the clears, but I felt like I was fighting the keyboard a little bit when gaming with the silent reds. I might also be feeling post-actuation resistance when bottoming out the keys, in which case I don't actually need to fight through the resistance, but I prefer the confirmatory feeling of bottoming out the key (especially since you don't have the mid-stroke feedback of something like an mx brown switch to know when you've actuated). I tried swapping my clear switches into the WASD keys, but that comes at the expense of the non-gaming typing experience. So instead I have one keyboard with all clears that I use for gaming, then switch over to this when I'm doing more intensive typing. It's not that it's bad for gaming, I just prefer the clears. One other thing I'll note is that the thing I like most about this keyboard, the MX Red Silent switches, you don't necessarily need the Ducky to enjoy, you could save money with a different brand's frame, and get very close to the same experience. But having tried a lot of keyboards, the build quality does count for something, especially with respect to the feel when bottoming out the keys. A cheaper keyboard will probably also have cheaper keycaps, and although you can pretty easily replace those, it's a hidden cost vs. these, which have really nice keycaps out of the box.

Finally, a mechanical keyboard I can take notes with while talking on the phone, without needing to mute myself. An utter delight to type with. I always thought I preferred tactile bump keys for typing, but what this does is effectively replace the mid-stroke tactile bump for the bottoming out tactile thunk, and because of the padding in the frame and the solid construction, that bottoming out feels and sounds fantastic. I always bottom out keys when I type, anyways, so the mid-stroke tactile bump was redundant, it's just extra noise.
