Linear switches offer the least tactile feedback compared to other mechanical switches, which can be good or bad, depending on your preference. Linear mechanical switches are some of the most popular and widely used mechanical keyboards due to their smooth and quiet operation.

Some examples of linear mechanical switches include Red, Yellow, and Black. These factors contribute to the linear mechanical switch being the quietest type of mechanical keyboard switch. There are three types of mechanical switches, linear, tactile, and clicky, which provide different levels of resistance and noise.Īdditionally, the switch housing is usually made from rubber or plastic, dampening the switch’s sound. Mechanical switches comprise a base, stem, and spring, providing tactile and audible feedback when pressing the keys.
