DUROCK Silent Linear Switches, Classic Blue Stem 5 Pins Silent Linear Switch, Pre-lubed MX Silent Keyboard Switches Dolphin 62g, 90pcs

Durock makes great switches. The noise level when i type is pretty quiet. I don't hear my typing at all when I have headphones on and I know no one is disturbed by my typing when they're in another room or far enough away. I'd say it was well worth the cost and it seems like it has decent enough durability like any other switch. It works as intended and if you have shine through, it shows the light well enough. Now, personally, I like heavy switches. 62g is pretty good, however, swapped the springs for 78g springs. They're still silent and feel much better for me. So if you need to add new springs yourself, it'll be super easy. These things are sturdy and nothing broke while I added new springs to 70 of these switches.

They're pretty good. I was looking for a silent linear to replace my Gazzew Boba U4. Outemu Dopamine/Butterfly has a slightly better feel but no RGB compatibility. Backstory: At first I found the Outemu Dopamine. Such a comfortable and silent gaming switch, they're amazing. But those were discontinued and replaced with the Outemu Butterfly. I only got 10 dopamine switches due to low supply. I put them on WASD and Spacebar and they feel great when gaming! I was about to order Outemu Butterflys, but those switches (and the dopamines) don't have a clear housing so RGB is dim at best. Looking around for the best silent linear, I found an old article from a keyboard YouTuber's website saying that these Durock Dolphins were the best silent linears. After trying them out I can say that I like them. Similar feel to the dopamines but very slightly less satisfying with a slightly more tappy noise to them. Around the same volume overall though. 9/10 It's difficult to compare with the Boba's. The Boba U4 has a large, smooth tactile bump, but personally I got used to the feel over time and have a hard time feeling the bumps from all tactile switches. Smoothess is the same as the other silent switches I've mentioned so far. And then the Gateron China Joys (CJ's) are extremely smooth but they dont feel that good (they're linear, but not silents). In conclusion, a good silent linear is the optimal switch for me when it comes to feel. The slightly squishy nature combined with a linear travel is just the best feeling in my opinion. Even though silent linears are "scratchy", I don't feel any of that when actually typing, only when testing for smoothness or when pressing down slowly.

Very quiet. Does as advertised, and it’s good quality. I use it for my mechanical keyboard at work and it doesn’t bother people around me.

I ordered 90 of these for a TKL build that needs 87 switches. There were 7 failed switches in the batch of 90 which is a worse rate of failure than I've seen from other vendors (I think I've purchased over 1k switches in the last 7 years). The switches are smooth, and that's great. The 62g model feels lighter than a 62g switch should, in my opinion.

I decided that after almost a year of using the Gateron Brown Pro switches that came with my Epomaker TH80 that I wanted to try something different. Typing with the brown switches wasn't exactly what I was going for when I decided to enter the mechanical keyboard world - the tactile bump was more of a tickle than a bump, and the noise when bottomed was a bit loud. Enter the Durock Silent Linear Dolphins. I was between these and the Boba U4 Silent Tactile Switches, but what made my decision final was being able to get the Dolphins through Amazon Prime as opposed to ordering from overseas or waiting for a local vendor to get them in stock. While I may still try the Boba U4s in the future, these Dolphin switches are fantastic! First of all, my keyboard went from 'pretty quite unless you bottom out' to inaudible unless bottomed out. And even then the sound is muted but satisfying. I will say that the feel when typing is a bit mushy, but nothing like a membrane keyboard. Also, there is some slight scratchiness with some of the switches. I think lubing them would go a long way, but I was just to excited to give them a try. Other than those 2 minor issues, everything about these switches are great! I usually have my RGB off, but the light shines through perfectly when on, keystrokes are responsive and feel nice while the sound is silent. Exactly why I ordered them. In my video I compared the brown and Dolphin switches with the chorus of children in the background. Also, after the video, I took my keyboard outside and hit it with an air blower to get all the cat hair out. I've only used the switches for a day, but I can already give them a high recommendation. I'll update this post if anything changes.
