Mechanical switches GLORIOUS Lynx HE Silent 40g Linear MX-Stem — 36 pieces

GLORIOUS Lynx HE Silent 40g Linear MX-Stem switches are a set of 36 mechanical switches engineered for smooth, consistent keystrokes with reduced sound. These linear switches feature a 40-gram actuation force and MX-compatible stems, making them suitable for a wide range of mechanical keyboards that accept standard MX-style housings and keycaps. The silent variant incorporates damping elements to minimize bottom-out and upstroke noise, offering a quieter typing and gaming experience without altering the linear travel profile.

Advantages

The switches deliver a stable linear feel throughout the keypress, with 40g actuation force tuned for a balance between light responsiveness and deliberate control. The silent design lowers audible impact on each press and return, contributing to a less disruptive environment during extended use. Compatibility with MX-style keycaps and housings simplifies installation and customization, while the uniform manufacturing ensures consistent actuation across the included 36 pieces.

Suitable for

• Mechanical keyboard repairs and partial replacements
• Custom keyboard builds requiring MX-compatible linear switches
• Gaming where smooth, uninterrupted key travel is preferred
• Office or shared spaces where reduced typing noise is beneficial

Key specifications

• Switch type: Linear
• Actuation force: 40 g
• Stem compatibility: MX-style stem
• Package quantity: 36 switches
• Noise reduction: Silent/damped design to reduce bottom-out and return noise

How to use

Ensure your keyboard supports MX-style switches and remove keycaps carefully using a keycap puller. If the keyboard uses hot-swap sockets, pull the old switches straight out and insert the GLORIOUS Lynx HE Silent switches orienting the pins and stem correctly. For soldered PCBs, desolder the existing switches before fitting these replacements, then solder securely. Refit keycaps and test each key to confirm proper seating and consistent actuation. Avoid forcing switches into incompatible sockets or misaligned positions to prevent damage to the switch pins or PCB.

Usage recommendations

For quieter operation, pair these silent linear switches with thicker keycaps or sound-dampening foam inside the keyboard case. Regularly inspect switch pin alignment during installation and consider using a switch opener and lubrication for advanced customization if smoother travel is desired.
