finding the right switches

[Scooby622]

im looking for the right switch for me. i want a silent linear switch. i like the sound of the Zeal Rosélios. anything similar?

Why not just get Roselios? Or the Healios, which is the same thing, but in a different colour. Alternatively, there are Silent Alpacas, Ink Silents, and an upcoming GB on Durock silent linear switches.

Considering OP asked for silent linear switches, and that they wanted something similar to Roselios, I don't think they are interested in any of those switches. Or any of Cherry's switches in general, really.

cherry silent red or cherry silent black are the only two silent switches I know about.

If you find nice feeling switches you can just add O rings.

Yeah and have fun in mush town. O rings only dampen downstroke, nowhere near to a silent switch imho.

True, but silents are still mushy.  A lubed linear set in a good plate like brass, PC, or CF, with a felt or foam pad under the PCB will be very quiet as well and won't feel mushy.

I'm not good at typing and specially in english ... I used to be really fast back in my school days but it's all gone now ... anyway I tend to bottom out most of the time when I type and I feel like the about 4mm distance travel is a bit way too much for me so I prefer typing with o-ring than without.  It feels a little bit more mushy but not something that bothers me ... I barely notice it ... well it's probably cause I've never tried an expensive keyboard.
