GK GAMAKAY Pegasus Silent Tactile Keyboard Switch with LED Diffuser for Backlit Mechanical Keyboard 5 Pin Pre-lubed Switches for DIY (Pegasus V2 Switch-70Pcs)

I love the quality of these. The only silent switches that were more silent than these were the boba U4. But the difference in price makes these my favorite ones. It's not worth it to switch to Boba.

I bought these to replace a set of budget linear switches that came with a low cost keyboard kit. Because they both sound good in switch comparison videos on YouTube, I wasn't sure if I would prefer these tactile switches or the GAMAKAY Phoenix linear switches. In the end, I went with tactile because my main problem with the switches I was replacing was a partial key press not feeling satisfying. That caused me to bottom out more while typing. And I'm glad I chose the Pegasus switches! The tactile bump on these is extremely satisfying. So much so, that I"m probably going to buy more to swap out the switches on a couple of my other keyboards (I just need to verify they can take 5 pin switches). I'm also pretty surprised with how quiet the keys are. I know it says they are "silent" in the listing, but I expected that to just be a marketing thing. In person, there's basically no key chatter while typing.

I'll give you my pathway of switches I tried up to this point. My first keyboard came with Gateron Reds (linear). Pretty good switch, but I quickly swapped them out for Kailh Speed Silvers (linear). The Speed Silvers were also "okay", but they actually became "good" after a fairly heavy coating of lube. That was also the first time I lubed switches, so I just did a poor job. But they were drastically improved. Fast forward. My entire family is being kept up late at night by my keyboard, despite the desk mat and lubed linears. I decide to give silent switches a shot. I buy the Durock Daybreaks, and I immediately fall in love. They're quiet, they're smooth, and after a quick lube job, it probably becomes my favourite typing experience thus far. After a few months, I buy a new keyboard to use at home only. Something less portable, heavier, maybe better-sounding, the GMMK Pro. But since I still want to hang onto my old keyboard with the daybreak switches, I buy the Coral silent switches on Deskhero. They feel a bit mushier, and the red housing messes up the backlight color of the keyboard. I need something else. So I move away from linears for the first time in my life, and I buy the Tessence Tactiles from Drop. And they sound good. They are _almost_ clicky-feeling, they are decent build, and they are a good weight for my hands. But over time, I decide to actually improve my typing ability, and be "lighter" at typing. I don't want to bottom out, because bottoming out is also just generally loud. And the Tessence switches start to fail me. I realize that their actuation weight was actually almost like the bottom-out weight. So while I'm typing lighter, I'm also missing like 50% of my keystrokes or some other ungodly number. I need a lighter switch. Tactile, neutral color housing. Bonus points for silent. Check, check, check, and bonus check. These switches are EXACTLY what I wanted. They're lighter. They're tactile (a pretty nice bump too. Less than the tessence, but still noticeable.) They're coloured properly. And finally, THEY'RE SILENT!!! I genuinely believe this is my endgame. I'm not _ghost_ typing and missing keystrokes. Now the only thing holding me back is my actual typing (in)ability. One day I'll hit that 120WPM average. Not today, though.

It works pretty well. It has a good feeling when pressed and also is silent

Tactile and quiet, 4.5/5 Pros: -Good Quality -Quiet -Responsive -Light diffusion works Cons: -Fitment not as snug These switches are quiet and reduce typos dramatically due to the slight resistance / tactile feedback on a full press down. Love them.

These are awesome switches. I have a Keychron Q1 Max keyboard that came with Gateron Jupiter Red switches that I did not like at all - too mushy feeling with no feedback, These Pegasus switches are amazing. They're far, far quieter than even the Gateron Jupiter Reds, and they have an amazing tactile bump feedback as well. So quiet, so tactile, and so inexpensive. 5/5
