EPOMAKERNude Rosa 40gf Silent Gaming Keyboard Switches, 21mm Spring, 5-Pin Pre-Lubed Switch, 35 PCS, with PC Case, UPE Stem, Compatible with MX Keycaps for Mechanical Keyboard (Nude Rosa)

At first I was concerned about the slight RGB dimming, but I don't even notice it now that they are installed. Very nice switch with good crispness. My gaming keyboard has Graywoods witch I love, these were some of the closet in feel for a "silent" switch.

Compared to Gateron Yellow switches, these are very mushy. They are not completely silent, but offer a much lower tone, which I personally like. My only issue with these so far is that they are extremely delicate. About five switches were not working straight out of the box and I needed to straighten the pins with tweezers. Once I placed them all in, I realized that about three more switches were slightly defective. Upon removing them, I realized that when they are placed under certain keys such as a space bar, backspace, enter, or shift key, they are more vulnerable to breaking. So if you are frequently changing the switches on a single keyboard, I doubt these would hold up very long. But since I am planning to leave these switches on my keyboard for a very long time, I don't think that will be an issue.

I ordered a set of Epomaker Nude Rosa silent switches to try out and review against some creamy yellow linear switches that I typically use. After comparing them for a few days I was surprised at the silky-smooth feeling of typing with these; along with the fact that I can use them in my keyboard in the office without irritating my co-workers.I'll sum up my comparison by stating that I quickly placed an order for an additional set of the Epomaker silent switches to complete my keyboard build. I'm very happy with the results and highly recommend these to anyone considering a silent mechanical switch. If you haven't tried these out before it's worth buying a set to test. Especially if you work in a crowded office - your co-workers will thank you!

Quite and exactly as described

The sound is so good just you have to ouch down a bit harder thank I do normally so still good

Very happy with it. It's not mushy, but still quiet.

The Epomaker Nude Rosa is one of the new styles of silent switches, similar to the Haimu Heartbeat. If you aren't aware, most silent switches on the market replace the stem's (normally) plastic rails with silicone/rubber, so when the switch bottoms out and rebounds, that material is making contact instead of the normal plastic, which significantly dampens the sound. However, this comes with a major downside - key presses feel mushy. Not as bad as a membrane board, but much worse than a regular mechanical switch.This new style of silent switch replaces the silicone/rubber with a notched "S"-shaped slider rail that absorbs the sound of the bottom out/rebound, resulting in a switch that feels ~80% like a normal mechanical switch, but is about 2-3 decibels quieter. For comparison, IMO a normal silent switch feels like it gets you about 60% to a normal mech switch and, in the specific combo I tested (Akko Cream Black vs Silent Boba Gum), the Boba Gums were about 4-6 decibels quieter. Of course, this is mostly my opinion and not super scientific (I did test actual decibel readings, but take those numbers with a grain of salt, as they are estimates of what I observed with my specific testing setup).So, the Nude Rosa switches slot nicely in between a traditional linear switch and a traditional silent switch. They're a good balance of quiet without sacrificing too much of the feel of a mech. If you need an absolutely silent switch, this is not your switch, but it'll feel way better than whatever you end up with.

I ordered these to add to my growing collection of custom keyboard parts to use in a future build.I have built five keyboard myself to date, and I love exploring and getting more into this wonderful, beautiful hobby.When these came in, I opened and examined them thoroughly. They are extremely high quality. The fit, finish, and tolerances are tight and wonderful. There is no wobble, and there is no ping. These switches are DEAD silent. You cannot hear them at all.These come pre-lubed and they feel great out-of-the-box, and I don't think lubing them would make much of a difference, honestly, especially since they are silent.These switches will be in my next build, in which I will build a completely silent keyboard for office use.I love them, and EpoMaker is a terrific company. I highly recommend this product.

So make sure your keyboard or kit is compatible before making your purchase or you may be sad.These are interesting switches for you linearly-minded types out there, though not too far removed from the 'standard' traits of red switches. In this case, it's clear that they're a fair bit quieter than normal reds, though this could easily just be because of the pre-oiled nature of the rose switches.Outside of a muddier sound due to the quietness of them, there's not much of a discernable difference that I could find between them and the reds. They are slightly lower force based solely on my tacticle perceptions of the switch.However, one place they do win quite well is they appear to be of quality and the price is quite competitive vis-a-vis switch prices for budget offerings. My primary experience with switches is blues, Kailh white box, reds, and well, these guys. I don't really find too much difference between linear switches, but these ones are definitely quieter than the 'standard' red is.In terms of installation, gotta say - that was really easy! I had to put the reds into this keyboard originally (Gameshark Ajazz) and that was kind of a pain in the rear, to be frank. I oriented (protip) the box of Rose switches from Epomaker such that they were in the correct orientation, and then popping them in was actually a super quick process. Definitely gives you a bit more of a factory pace if you make sure to do that first!But yea, the tactile feeling is a bit muddier than I'd like, but this is almost certainly because I'm a blues militant, I only use reds related to trying to keep my typing quiet during my working hours. I do miss the bump though.But, if you like reds, and you want a quiet keyboard, you can't really go wrong for considering this option. They're not bad switches, at any rate; they come pre-oiled, and while I will have to wait for time to tell, right now they don't seem like they're going to give up the ghost.But yea, if you don't like linear, low force switches... you're not gonna like these. If you do? Well, I think you might find yourself quite delighted.Though, I will be 100% frank, I'm not so sure what these give that's meaningfully different from Reds to warrant the unique branding/colour. I'm not so much a connesieur of keyboards that I know the ins and outs that may make this obvious. They're basically reds, for all intents and purposes though, as I'm concerned. But they're decent ones, so if you like linear, give 'em a go! They are quieter!========================== Overall View: [😀] ==== - 😦🙁😐😊😀 + ==========================Media Used: I would include a video, but... I don't really think I can capture the difference meaningfully. Basically, vs. standard reds, they're just a bit more mute, but I find that extends to the tactile feedback too.

The switches are quite good for office because they are silent.But I find them to be a bit too soft, too mushy when I type. I would prefer for them to be a bit more defined, even when silent. But again, this is my personal preference. I usually use very clicky switches.The quality of the switches is superb, no complaints here.Recommended, if silent soft switches are your thing (on necessity).

Epomaker sollte dem einen oder andern ein durchaus ein Begriff sein für unglaublich gute Mechanische Tastaturen (die meisten davon leider nativ im ANSI-US Layout), wahrscheinlich wissen aber weitaus weniger Menschen das Epomaker selber auch Mechanische Switches im Portfolio hat.Die Epomaker Nude-Rosa klingen ersteinmal vom Namen her lustig, aber Qualitativ sind diese auf einem ganz anderen Level als z.B. Cherry MX Switches!Aber: Auch wenn man das meinen könnte hier schon am Preisschild erkennen zu können... jein... nicht ganz... Klar im vergleich zu nem vollen Satz Cherry MX Switches wirken die EPOMAKER schon fast unerhört teuer, aber man darf hier nicht übersehen das diese Switches allesamt Lubed sind, ein arbeitsschritt den die meisten Hersteller sich sparen, und ein Arbeitsschritt den man selber ehrlich gesagt sich lieber nicht antun möchte, nicht weil es schwer wäre, eher langwierig, monoton und öde!Um seine Tastatur mit diesen EPOMAKER Nude-Rosa voll zu bestücken wäre definitiv MEHR als ein satz notwendig, und dies dann auch entsprechend teuer... Ob dies einem aber auch wirklich wert ist muss jeder für sich entscheiden.

Reasons To Buy+ Have a light-ish actuation force at 39g (45g bottom out) - my daily driver Outemu Silents are 45g and 65g by comparison. I thought the feel was fine for a linear switch.+ Quiet switches, especially when compared to tactile or clicky switches. You could use these in a shared workspace without anyone hating your guts for it. To my ears (your mileage may vary), they are no louder than any other external keyboard with dome switches.+ Linear, so "no bump" when pressing down the key+ There is a slot that allows RGB lighting to pass through+ Well made, 5 pin switchesNitpicks / Hit or Miss* Factory pre-lubed. Personally I prefer that, but some people like to DIY the lube.* Fitting into an Outemu type 3 pin hotswap board could require cutting the two plastic legs and filing the two metal pins (depends on the board)* While they are generally quiet on the downstroke, they are not as quiet as my Outemu Silent Whites. How they sound depends on your keyboard. On my daily driver Keychron Q6, there is a light "thock" sound when the keycap bottoms out. My Silent Whites have a lighter sound. When I tested on another keypad, however, there was less of a sound on the downstroke. So your mileage will definitely vary depending on the board you install them on.Reasons Not To Buy- You like "thocky" switches - these are relatively quiet.- You don't like linear switches. There's no tactile bump.- Your keyboard is the type that visibly exposes the switches, and you don't like the switch colorway. On my keyboard, the switches aren't visible so the colorway doesn't matter.Good Value?They're nice switches, and they are well under a dollar a switch. Epomaker makes nice switches (and keyboard gear in general), but there are definitely more expensive, higher end switches out there. I think they are reasonably priced for what they are. How much you spend depends on your keyboard. If you've got a full 104 keys, you'll need to buy 3 packs. In the end, feel is very subjective. I had no problem with the feel - I don't have a strong preference between linears and tactiles, although I hate clicky switches.

Die EPOMAKER Nude-Rosa Silent Switches fühlen sich gut an und sind angenehm leise. Aufgrund der typischen Konstruktion von Silent Switches haben sie jedoch einen etwas schwammigen Tastenanschlag, an den man sich gewöhnen muss. Trotz dieser Eigenschaft verwende ich sie gerne in meiner Tastatur, da sie viel leiser sind als meine bisherigen Switches.Preislich finde ich sie etwas teuer. Andere Optionen wie die Akko Fairy Switches bieten ein besseres Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Insgesamt sind die Silent Switches von Epomaker dennoch eine gute Wahl.
