❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How quiet are Silent Yellow Jade switches?▼
Extremely quiet – often described as “library‑mode” silence. The foam‑infused POM stem and silicone dampeners eliminate 95% of clack and rattle. In a silent room, you'll hear only a faint, muffled thud.
What does “cotton‑soft” feel mean?▼
The 50g actuation and 21.5mm spring create a light, pillowy resistance – like pressing into soft cotton. It's not mushy; it's a gentle, fatigue‑free tactile experience that still provides clear feedback.
Do I need to lube these switches?▼
They come factory pre‑lubed and are smooth out of the box. However, they are also very modding‑friendly – you can add additional lube, swap springs, or apply films to further customize the feel.
Are these good for gaming?▼
Yes – the 50g actuation is responsive, and the tactile bump provides clear feedback. They are especially popular for quiet gaming setups (dorms, late‑night sessions) and games where precision matters.
Can I use these on a 3‑pin PCB?▼
Yes. These are 5‑pin switches, but the two plastic positioning pins can be clipped off with flush cutters to fit 3‑pin PCBs without any issue.
What's the difference between Silent Yellow Jade and Silent Lemon V3?▼
Silent Yellow Jade has a slightly heavier 50g actuation (vs 35g on Lemon V3) and a foam‑infused stem for even quieter operation. It's designed for those who want a bit more resistance and library‑mode silence.
