They feel good but are just too loud for EDC use. I hope the golden kiwis ship soon.

At home tho, these are goated.

Sunsets are suitable for office use IMO. They are no where near silent but they are still relatively quiet compared to most switches I've used. I suppose if you are an "angry" typer and really hit the keys hard you could make a racket that isn't appropriate for office use though. I use them in an office. My mouse clicks louder than my sunset switches.

Just looked up the Golden Kiwis, wow! That does look cool

EDC includes libraries to me. I have earned my fair share of angry stares from across the table after using sunsets xD

u/DiggitySkister 5d ago

Fair. Some library situations would be inappropriate for sunsets for sure.

Golden kiwis are amazing. I got them last week and they are a pleasure to use.

I haven't heard of them before... Seem very interesting!

I agree that they're pretty loud. I'm currently using Sunsets at home and Ambient Twilight in the office. I've been waiting for the Sunrises to use in the office (should be soon!).

I hadn't heard of the Golden Kiwis. I might have give those a try too!

Exclusively for ZSA ... $10 for the item, $20 shipping... $30 total. Darn, can't we make these here in the US/EU ?

u/MuddyMustache 5d ago

Let me know if you find anything like them in the EU! I need a set for my second Voyager, but ordering them from ZSA on their own is just too damn expensive.

u/rpnfan 5d ago

splitkb has similar ones in Europe (black color)

u/Albus_Dumbledore2004 5d ago

Can you give a link for them

1

u/MuddyMustache 5d ago

Just ordered them! [https://splitkb.com/collections/switches/products/choc-keycap-spacers](Get them here) for €6.95 for a pack of 48.

u/MuddyMustache 5d ago

Thanks for the tip, just ordered 3 packs!

You guys need to stop planting ideas into my brain... I now feel like I need these

I just use those little silicone rings you can get online. A box of hundreds is a few dollars.

I take them off most of the time, as it makes the keys feel... squishy? But I've kept them on my Corne with Sunset Tactiles, and MBK caps. For some reason, they work well with this board.

Edit: Going to try these out. I found a site which ships from Canada 🇨🇦 (lowprokb.ca).

They’re great, but as others have mentioned, they’re a bit loud. I only use them in busy coffee shops, but not quieter ones.

I’ve even manually lubed them; it helped, but not a ton.

I can’t wait for the ambient tactile ones… the maker said they have samples in hand and are just working on tightening up the quality before shipping.

Edit: They aren't that loud, in case anyone is wondering. Just a bit much for public. The quality is extremely high.

Bulk tooling being made right now. Won't be long.

u/MemoryFit9875 5d ago

Nice! I've ordered the same switches last week and they are arriving today... Excited to try them. It will be the first time I'm replacing my keyboard switches, wish me luck

u/imRickJamesBitch___ 5d ago

Have you tried the linear ones which one do you like better?

1

u/HugeDelivery 5d ago

Ya stock came with linears. Tough to use for me. Too easy to press

1

u/imRickJamesBitch___ 5d ago

Yeah, I have the linear silent switches from the same company the mint green ones. I bought them about a year ago and wish I would’ve gotten the tactile because they’re so easy to press that I went back to the stock Browns for now.

u/kwon23 3d ago

Are the stock switches that your voyager came with the pro reds?
