Great silents!
For the price and availability, these are my favorite silent switches. They feel great, I have yet to come across on that didn’t work perfectly, and the little sound you do get is amazing.I am using them in my Epomaker x Aula F65 and they are so deep and thocky which I love for my work keyboard. Many other silent switches I have tried just don’t dampen the sound as much as they should or retain a lot of higher pitch clacky sound which is what usually draws people to want silents but these have none of that. I have a few backup boxes for other boards in the future!

Soft and Quiet Switches
Love these! Exactly what I needed. Love my creamy keyboard but was looking for a quieter switch so people wouldn't hear my keyboard when I take calls. Has a nice soft feeling. Just wish they had a different option with more than 35 switches cause I have a full size keyboard with the number pad and gonna need to order more

Silent and heavy
I use an Epomaker EP84Plus that came with wisteria switches. I needed a quieter keyboard because it was pretty distracting typing all day. These were super easy to install, but most of that is the keyboard. Since the keyboard and switches are same brand, they work flawlessly. It's a night and day difference, these things are quieter than normal membrane keyboards, except maybe the space bar. It's louder because of the size, but still much quieter than other switches.To me, they feel slightly heavier to press. I had to look up the specs, and the actuation force is 60 gf and the wisteria switches are 45 gf, so they are heavier to press. Something to keep in mind!

Silent key switches
These key switches are awesome for any environment such as an office. I hate hearing my desk buddy typing through out the day and these switches make no noise! They’re very satisfying to use and are very quiet! I love the light pastel yellow and blue color that they have and they’re definitely worth the money! These keys fit my Epomaker keyboard!

Mostly great but one small (big) problem
Pros: These are exceptionally quiet, and while the kind of mushy feeling is almost impossible to avoid with silent switches, these do a great job of mitigating that and are overall quite nice to type on. I'm not sure that "silent" is for me, but I wanted to try them out, and with one small (big) exception, I'm impressed.Cons: If you've ever heard of north-facing Cherry profile interference, then be prepared for something truly extraordinary: south-facing Cherry profile interference! Most specifically, the problem seems to arise with double-shot Cherry profile keycaps, but when I place a home-row (asd... etc.) keycap on one of these switches with the LED hole oriented to the south, I hear a click as the north side of the cap bangs up against the top housing. Furthermore, when I try the "paper test," as in taking a thin strip of paper and placing it just under the north side of the keycap and then depress it, it traps the paper.Again, when the LED is south-facing, there is interference on the north side, where the switch and the keycap make contact before the switch can fully bottom out.Just to be clear, this is a problem that I've observed with a number of home-row (A-row) *double-shot* keycaps. When I've tried single-shot keycaps, I haven't observed the same interference.It seems odd to me that Epomaker, a company that produces a lot of keyboards with south-facing LEDs, including the RT100, which has the option to come with Sea Salt Silent switches, would make switches that aren't compatible with all Cherry profile keycaps, as their Flamingo and Budgerigar keycaps are (which are also options to order with the RT100).{Edit: After conducting a Frankenswitch test by exchanging the top housing of a Flamingo and a Sea Salt Silent, I've realized that, contrary to what I thought at first, it isn't the top housing that's the problem; rather, it's the stem. The Flamingo and the Budgerigar have slightly longer stems that, when bottomed out, clear the top housing by maybe a millimeter, perhaps less. Either way, it's noticeable. The Sea Salt Silent, however, when fully depressed, is flush with the housing. That height difference makes, well, all the different with regard to double-shot Cherry profile keycap interference. Often, it makes the difference with any Cherry profile keycap, but the housing is shaped just right to avoid interference with single-shot keycaps.}It's a minor thing in the grand scheme of things, and there are plenty of other profiles to use, but if you prefer the Cherry profile and use double-shot keys, you might want to look elsewhere for silent switches.

Quiet and good
I used these to build a work keyboard. They are very quiet and do not feel mushy when pressed. My students are not annoyed by this keyboard while I angrily type out emails lol.

Silent Switch! The best
Love them! First set of silent switches and they do the job! I need to order another set due to the amount that is in this kit.

Looks > Sound / Feel
If looks matter to you (being able to see the RGB of your keyboard), these are a good choice of silent linear switches. If you don't care very much about the looks of your keyboard and just want a silent, buttery typing experience, I'd recommend spending a bit less and getting the Akko Fairy V3 silents instead.These are... well, they're alright is all I can say. Compared to the Akko Fairies, which are around 7 cents cheaper a piece (doesnt sound like much but it adds up), these are kind of meh. They retain a sort of "clacky" quality to them that isn't really desirable with a silent switch, which is most noticeable when you do quick, harsh keypresses.They're not awful. They show the colors of my keyboard better than the Akko Fairies and feel a bit less "wobbly" thanks to the box style of stem, but that's where the compliments end, unfortunately. The stock switches feel scratchy, and even after adding lube and films to the switches they're still just "okay."
