Matias Quiet Linear 35g Switch

The Matias Quiet Linear Switches are quieter than other mechanical keyboards, and
have a sound level similar to a regular non-mechanical keyboard.

Most linear switches follow a simple coil spring design. This puts them at the mercy of Hooke's Law- the farther down you press, the more the resistance force increases, until it becomes quite heavy (in relative terms).

With the Matias Quiet Linear switch, we've added a special internal leaf spring, that offsets the detrimental effects of Hooke's Law. It adds a little extra resistance at the beginning (when Hooke's Law's impact is small) that gradually decreases as the coiled spring's resistance increases.

This gives you a smoother, more stable, linear feel than any other linear switch.

If you're a court stenographer, or a late night gamer, or anyone else for whom noise is not an option, Matias Quiet Linear switches are no louder than the generic keyboards that most computers come with, and quieter than many of them.
