SUNRISE SWITCH UPDATE:
(Jan 2025) - Looks like I will not get engineers time until after Chinese New Year (~end of Feb). I will make it my mission to get this solved for a late spring release. Fingers crossed.
(Summer 2024) - There have been delays beyond our control. The first samples sent to us, did not meet our expectations, so further revisions have been ordered. This will likely push the availability date to the fall. We are moving as fast as we can, but the issue is the availability of Kailh engineers... they seem to be quite busy.
The Ambients are based on the original Kailh Choc V1 switch, but are a completely new design, having all their parts redesigned to accommodate the new components required to quieten the typical switch noise. Silicone bumpers have been strategically placed within the new design to buffer both the down and the up stroke of a keypress, all while not creating a mushy feeling while typing.

Wow, what a wonderful typing experience! I'm coming from Kailh White Chocs, which I adore, but my spouse didn't appreciate the noise in our shared office. These new switches fit perfectly into my ZSA Voyager keyboard. I do need to get used to the actuation force; coming from 50g Whites, the 20g Nocturnals are a massive difference in pressure.
Beautiful! a light silent switch?? nuff said.
These are too light for me to use as the home row, but great for the surrounding keys. Happy with the choice to buy them!
These were exactly what I was looking for, a quiet switch that is also the right weight to rest my fingers on the home row. I understand after using them why the feel gets called “mushy”, when you bottom the keys out it is hitting the silicon silencer and that is very different than the sharp feel of a normal linear switch.
these ambients silent chocs are the quietest mechanical switches i have ever experienced, i hope we got some in the 50g+ range in the future =] heavy linears are where its at.
Incredible low profile switches. Very light tough required, but they are amazing! Very smooth, silent, pleasure to type on.
