Gateron Silent Yellow 2.0 Silent Linear Switches
Gateron Silent Yellow 2.0 — Ultra-Quiet Linear Switches (50g)
Type in a shared office, during a late-night gaming session, or next to a sleeping household — without the clack. The Gateron Silent Yellow 2.0 is one of the most popular silent linears in the hobby: cushioned damper pads on the top and bottom of the stem soak up both downstroke and upstroke noise, while the 50g linear feel stays smooth and natural, not mushy.

Frequently asked questions
How quiet are they really?
Noticeably quieter than any standard switch — the pads eliminate most of the bottom-out and top-out clack. Not 100% silent, but close enough for offices and night owls.
Do silent switches feel mushy?
Cheap ones can. The Silent Yellow keeps a clean linear feel with a softened landing — most people adapt within a day.
How many do I need?
About 70 for a 65% keyboard, 90 for TKL, 110 for full-size — grab a few extra for testing and spares.
Will they fit my keyboard?
Yes, if it uses MX-style switches — these fit any hot-swap or solder MX PCB (5-pin; also fits 3-pin boards).
