be quiet! Light Mount Silent Linear Mechanical Keyboard Review @ APH Networks
APH Networks found the Light Mount Silent Linear to be a standout keyboard for those who value quiet operation and premium build quality. It uses be quiet!’s custom Silent Linear mechanical switches, which are pre-lubricated and paired with a triple-layer sound-dampening design to minimise noise during each keystroke. The board also features a full-sized layout, hot-swappable switch support, PBT double-shot keycaps, a dedicated media dial and macro keys, and fresh aesthetics with a sleek aluminium top plate and ARGB lighting. The included cushioned wrist-rest and robust USB-C detachable cable add to the overall premium feel.
The be quiet! Light Mount Silent Linear is a clean and elegant keyboard with stunning ARGB LED lighting, but it can be more silent with improvements to its design.
The review did highlight a few caveats. At its roughly $150 price point, the Light Mount is positioned as a premium option and may be over-kill for users who don’t prioritise ultra-quiet operation. Some gamers who favour loud, tactile switching may find the silent linear feel less engaging. Also, while the feature set is comprehensive, the software for macro and lighting control is still maturing. In the end, APH Networks concluded that if you want a full-sized, stylish keyboard that excels in quiet typing and gaming, the Light Mount Silent Linear delivers excellent value, especially for shared spaces or home offices where noise matters.
