be quiet! Light Mount Silent Tactile (BT004UK)

A full-sized wired mechanical keyboard with an ISO layout, where a brand, well-known primarily for quiet power supplies and coolers, extends its signature silence philosophy to gaming peripherals. The main focus is on noise reduction: be quiet! Silent tactile switches are factory-lubricated—both the switches themselves and the stabilizers under larger keys like the spacebar and Enter, which produce a characteristic rattle in many competitors.

Three layers of sound insulation are placed inside the case (between the switches and the PCB, under the board, and at the bottom), further dampening any residual sound. The switches support hot-swapping with any 5-pin MX-compatible switches, allowing replacement from tactile to linear or clicky. The top panel of the be quiet! Light Mount Silent Tactile keyboard is made of matte aluminum, while the keycaps are double-shot PBT with semi-transparent symbols that shine through an arched ARGB diffuser in each switch.

The lighting encompasses not only the keys but also the top edge of the case, while side LED strips create ambient lighting around the keyboard. Five mechanical macro keys and an aluminum 3D wheel, by default controlling volume, are programmable via the be quiet! IO Center software. A magnetic detachable wrist rest, three angles of tilt with foldable legs, and a detachable braided USB cable complete the picture.
