Ambients Silent Choc Switches

$9.00

The low profile keyboard market asked for it, and now they are here!
The first, purpose-built from the ground up, silent low profile keyboard switches are finally available!

Lowprokb is proud to announce the new Ambients line of silent choc switches, which will transform your rig into an office-friendly tool, or a late-night warrior's weapon. Designed in partnership with Kailh engineers, the Ambients line of switches will work on any keyboard that is Choc V1 compatible. Yes you read that right, both the keycap interface and the PCB footprint remain unchanged from earlier Choc V1 switches, so your existing keyboard can use these new switches.

Note: Used switches are not refundable. If you are unsure if you will like a particular switch, please purchase a single 10 pack to test prior to buying the full amount. Please see our refund policy for more details.

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.

Incredible low profile switches. Very light tough required, but they are amazing! Very smooth, silent, pleasure to type on.

The best. I did need a tiny bit of time getting used to the Nocturnals when I used it for my first choc build but after that it's clear to me that I cannot use any other choc switch. I've also tested out some regular Kailh switches. It really doesn't compare - Nocturnals is so smooth. Typing just glides for me. My local vendor sadly sold out all Ambients so I came to the true source and so glad I did because was worried about the delivery time considering I'm all the way in Australia, but I received it super fast. Very happy.

I did not expect to love these as much as I do.

I've been in the keyboard hobby for the better part of a decade, and I have used all manner of MX switches and Topre. I bought these because I really wanted to build a Geist Totem, but was not expecting too much out of low profile switches as this was my first venture into Choc boards.

I. AM. BLOWN. AWAY. BY. THESE.

I have purchased both Nocturnals and Twilights, and I will say that these are collectively tied for my favorite switch of all time with my beloved new Nixies with one caveat. The spring weight is much too light for my preference, so I spring swap to 50g springs. Other than that, these are absolutely outstanding switches. They feel great and are the quietest switches I have ever used.

I have purchased a fairly large personal stash of these just in case they ever stop being made because they really are just THAT good.

Smooth and quiet

The internal o-rings on the stem really help dampen the noise from up-strokes. I had already glued bits of rubber to the bottom of my key caps to make the down-strokes quiet, so combined with these switches my typing is virtually silent now!

I would highly recommend these to sunset users looking to switch from tactile to linear, as they're about the same weight. (No disrespect to the sunsets, also a very good switch if you like tactile)
