Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of switch is the Kailh Heart Ocean Silent Switch?
A: The Kailh Heart Ocean Silent Switch is a silent linear mechanical keyboard switch with a 40g actuation force. It features a noise-dampening mechanism for quieter typing, a smooth linear feel with no tactile bump, and is housed in durable polycarbonate (PC) material.
