yeah Haimu crew! :D

the Whispers have overall been great! I brought that keyboard to the office and when it’s quiet the people nearest to me (like 10 feet away) can hear them, but it’s absolutely no louder than the membrane keyboard I was using before. during the busy times of day we have multiple people on the phone & the printer going nonstop and that noise drowns the Whispers out completely! they do have a kind of raspy sound/feel to them that bugs me a bit, I’m hoping it’ll go away as they get broken in over time (I hate lubing switches more than anything) but it’s not bad enough to stop me from using them completely.

the TTCs took a LOT more getting used to because I absolutely hated the feeling of the silicone dampeners at first lmao, but after that adjustment period I ended up loving how the silicone makes them feel so bouncy! they don’t have the same rasp as the Whispers and I think that makes them a tad quieter, but the lighter spring means my heavy-handed typing almost becomes a damage risk. I didn’t buy as many of them so I have them just on the keys my pinky & ring fingers press.

if I was going to pick just one to fill a whole board with I’d probably go with the TTCs, but it would be a very narrow win!

unfortunately I don’t, I’ve never tried the Bobas :/ sorry!

as someone who bottoms out on every single keypress: it did take me a day or two to get used to silent switches, but soon enough you get used to going by the feeling instead of the sound! I have a mix of Haimu Whispers (~65g actuation, no silicone in the design) and TTC Silent Bluish Whites (~45g, silicone dampeners on the stem) on the same keyboard and they’re both tactile enough that it’s not too different from using a board of regular tactiles.

I have the same keyboard, nice choice! the outermost frame can pop off with light pressure (intentionally) - I just put it on backwards so the logo faces away from me instead of trying to figure out removing it. it works well enough for me, I usually forget it’s there!
