The design philosophy centres on integrating specialised damping materials directly into the switch's construction. A key differentiator is the use of a special silencing oil, sourced from Japan, applied to the bottom of the exclusive 16mm XC55 spring. This targets and reduces spring resonance, a common source of noise in mechanical switches. Combined with a unique three-colour shaft core that merges POM with a soft silicone gel, these switches are built for a smooth, quiet operation suitable for shared offices, homes, or any environment where noise reduction is valued.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures and Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four custom linear silent mechanical keyboard switches showing three-colour POM shaft core.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/07bdedd1-e099-474e-8739-ef506aeb6230.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe switch's performance is defined by measurable specifications and material choices. The actuation point is set at 1.9mm with a tolerance of ±0.3mm, providing a consistent trigger point, while the total bottom-out travel is 3.7mm (±0.3mm). The force curve is light, with an actuation force of 38g (±5g) and a bottom-out force of 55g (±5g), making it suitable for prolonged typing sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial and Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction employs specific polymers for each component to achieve its goals. The shaft core is a composite piece, using a POM (Polyoxymethylene) body for its self-lubricating properties and low friction, paired with a custom-formulated soft and silent silicone gel that acts as an internal damper. The upper cover is made from POK polymer raw materials, chosen for its strength. The bottom shell uses a PA (Polyamide) base reinforced with GF C5 material, likely for added structural rigidity and stability within the keyboard housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and Practical Fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe switches are built to standard mechanical keyboard switch dimensions, ensuring compatibility with most MX-style hot-swap sockets and PCBs. The 16mm single-section spring provides the specified force curve. The shaft body itself features a bridge plug-in structure secured by large buckles on both sides, a design intended to ensure a stable fit and consistent keypress alignment. The top cover incorporates a five solid patch lamp housing to accommodate SMD LEDs for per-key RGB lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUses and Placement\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four custom linear silent mechanical keyboard switches showing three-colour POM shaft core.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/2f526096-b329-457f-bed6-135601a1956a.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese switches are designed for users who prioritise a quiet, linear feel. Their application is broad, fitting into both custom-built keyboards and as replacements in pre-built models that support hot-swapping or soldering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEvent or Professional Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn environments like broadcasting studios, open-plan offices, libraries, or during live streaming, audible keyboard noise can be a distraction. The integrated Japanese silencing grease and silicone-gel-damped core work to minimise the typical 'clack' of bottoming out and the 'ping' of spring reverberation. This makes them a practical choice for professionals where discreet equipment is beneficial, allowing for focus on the task without auditory interference to others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEveryday Home Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor home offices, gaming setups, or shared living spaces, reducing keyboard noise can significantly improve the ambient environment. The light 38g actuation force promotes a gentle typing style suitable for long work sessions or gaming marathons without causing excessive finger fatigue. The linear motion—devoid of a tactile bump—provides a consistent, smooth keypress favoured by many for both typing and gaming, offering a uniform feel across all keys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits and Buying Value\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four custom linear silent mechanical keyboard switches showing three-colour POM shaft core.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/4e1cebe2-70f7-4fd3-b405-27f8ae3788da.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe value of these switches lies in their specific, source-supported technical approach to noise reduction and their defined performance parameters. They offer a pre-lubricated, custom-designed alternative to modifying standard switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReuse and Low Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe switches arrive with the specialised Japanese silencing oil already applied to the spring, a step often performed manually by keyboard enthusiasts. This factory-applied treatment saves time and ensures consistency. The internal damping from the silicone gel is a permanent part of the shaft core construction, requiring no maintenance or reapplication over the switch's lifespan, offering a 'set-and-forget' solution for quiet typing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose This Product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is for the user who wants a linear switch engineered for quietness from the ground up, not just a standard switch with added O-rings. The combination of the Japanese grease for spring noise, the POM-silicone composite core for internal damping, and the precise 1.9mm\/3.7mm travel with light actuation force presents a cohesive package. It provides a specific typing feel and sound profile backed by clear material and specification choices, making it a considered option for those building or modifying a keyboard with quiet performance as a primary goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four custom linear silent mechanical keyboard switches showing three-colour POM shaft core.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/564ffc80-e27f-4219-ad20-e436523cf13b.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four custom linear silent mechanical keyboard switches showing three-colour POM shaft core.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/5e04b804-c5fa-4257-bfc4-48a891c284f0.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four custom linear silent mechanical keyboard switches showing three-colour POM shaft core.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/804d8d69-97c4-4f09-9f27-d0c0d8a7bcb2.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four custom linear silent mechanical keyboard switches showing three-colour POM shaft core.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/88d3b03a-59bc-4042-bd0c-bfa034d9af25.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four custom linear silent mechanical keyboard switches showing three-colour POM shaft core.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/d5691bc8-f2bb-40f6-92a9-1cc3530240e5.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four custom linear silent mechanical keyboard switches showing three-colour POM shaft core.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/fa28b0e0-bae7-45fa-a294-b03027118b07.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"wxs98x-wy","offers":[{"title":"4 Pieces","offer_id":57119933170041,"sku":"CJYD189169101AZ","price":16.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/6054\/6937\/files\/2f526096-b329-457f-bed6-135601a1956a.webp?v=1776831857","url":"https:\/\/wxs98x-wy.myshopify.com\/products\/mechanical-keyboard-switches-custom-linear-silent-switches-with-1-9mm-actuation-point-3-7mm-bottom-out-travel-38g-actuation-force-japanese-sourced-silencing-grease-and-three-colour-pom-shaft-core-with-soft-silicone-gel-for-quiet-smooth-typing","provider":"CoreStaple","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
