The Kailh Deep Sea switch is a nearly silent linear switch designed for the optimal typing experience. A rubber pad is placed below the stem, at the bottom of the housing, which absorbs vibrations for the quietest possible bottom-out. To minimize finger strain, the Deep Sea switch uses a slightly longer stem with 3.6mm total travel, and newly refined internal components so that every key has a silky smooth press. A second set of rubberized dust-proofing pads inside the switch and around the shaft wall prevents dust build-up and provides even further sound insulation. The Deep Sea reduces noise (around <35 dB) more than any other switch on the market, and provides an excellent linear typing experience.
