Hi everyone. I currently use Zeal Zilent V2 67g switches and really enjoy them. I like how quiet they are and like that the bump/resistance is immediate.

I’m looking to try other switches still that are similar but don’t know enough. Does anyone know of other switches that fit my criteria? How are the keychron Banana’s? Are there any low profile switches like this? I absolutely do not like MX Brown’s as well.

    Love my U4s. I haven’t really used any other tactiles to compare with. My last switches were box jades which are on the opposite end of the “loudness” spectrum (and probably others). Was struck by how much less wobbly they were, too.

        I got the 62g cause I like a lighter switch. I would say the bump is pretty close to the top, but again I have not really used other tactiles so I don’t have the frame of reference.

          With my Zilents when I rest my finger on a key it just baarreelllyy depresses until it sits on the bump and then once I press down basically all of the travel (99%) comes after the bump.

          Would you say the U4s are like that?

          Also, with how light yours are do they still have a discernible bump or does it seem to turn into a linear?

            Yeah, basically at the top. And there’s definitely a bump, they are not linear. You should try to find a force curve for both switches. That should help at least tell you (better than I can lol) where the bump is, relative to the other.
