Smooth and silent switch rivaling the more expensive Zeal Zilent V2 67g. Similar in tactility to the Durock T1.
Silent tactile switches with a Green Wasabi colored stem. Produced by JWK and available for only a short time on the Keebwerk website.
A force-graph is a good way to help imagine how a switch might feel to the press. Many reputable manufacturers publish such graphs, either in their documentation or in their patents.

Stats and figures are one thing but here are some quotes, thoughts and opinions we've been able to find from across the web regarding these switches.
If you aren’t going to modify your switches, buy the Zilents. But if you’re willing to put in some time to film and lube your switches I’d opt for the Tacits.
They are smooth, silent with a heavier tactile bump. They feel very similar to the T1 except that they are softer at bottoming out.
The bump feels smoother and rounder compared to the Zeal Zilent V2 67g. Also similar to (don”t kill me for that) my HHKB with Redux Light Domes.
As quiet as a Zilent but a snappier tactile event. And the sound is really nice, very thocky. Stems are not wobbly in the slightest either. Really a great job by Keebwerk and Durock.
I threw some in a Boardwalk last week. I really like them. As quiet as a Zilent but a snappier tactile event. And the sound is really nice, very thocky. Stems are not wobbly in the slightest either. Really a great job by Keebwerk and Durock.
The Tacit switch benefits from switch films much like most Durock switches do.
