The Matias Quiet Tactile Switches are quieter than other mechanical keyboards, and
have a sound level similar to a regular non-mechanical keyboard. These switches have
a similar force curve and activation force as the Clicky Tactile Switches, but are quieter
for two main reasons:


1) The switches have internal rubber sound dampeners, that drastically reduce the
impact noise on the downstroke AND the upstroke.
2) The metal tactile leaf on the quiet switches is held stationary to eliminate the click
noise. On the clicky switches, it's loose.
