be quiet! Light Mount Silent Linear ARGB Mechanical Keyboard
The be quiet! Light Mount Silent Linear ARGB Mechanical Keyboard is built for anyone whose gaming or typing sessions need to stay quiet. It combines factory-lubricated mechanical switches with three layers of sound-dampening foam to eliminate the clacking that normally comes with mechanical keyboards, while delivering the speed and precision competitive players expect.
Why this product
Factory-lubricated silent switches
Each key uses be quiet!'s own linear switches, pre-lubricated from the factory including the stabilizers under spacebar and Enter. This reduces friction and the rattling noise that usually comes with large keys.
Three layers of acoustic foam
Sound-dampening material sits beneath the switches and case to absorb keystroke noise, making it suitable for shared spaces or late-night play.
Hot-swappable 5-pin MX switches
If you want to experiment with different switch types later, the hot-swap sockets let you pull and replace switches without soldering.
Per-key RGB with customizable lighting bars
Each switch has an arched ARGB diffuser for even illumination, plus customizable LED bars run along the top and sides for atmospheric effects.
Full programmability via IO Center
Remap keys, build macros across multiple profiles, and control lighting effects using be quiet!'s lightweight software or web-based app. Profiles save to onboard memory.

Best for
- Shared offices or late-night gaming where mechanical keyboard noise is a problem
- Competitive players who need linear switches (no tactile bump) and full key rollover for rapid inputs
- Users who want granular control over RGB and keybinds through software and onboard memory profiles
- Typists who prefer a smoother keystroke with factory lubrication rather than stock mechanical switches
Trade-offs
- Those who need a tactile or clicky switch — this board uses linear switches only, with no bump or audible feedback per keystroke
- Users outside the UK or Ireland who require ANSI, German, French or other regional layouts; only UK ISO is available
- Buyers seeking wireless connectivity; it connects only via USB 2.0 cable
- Those who want a compact form factor; at 461 mm wide, this is a full-size layout with media controls

MECHANICAL BE QUIET! SILENT SWITCHES - With factory-lubrication Each keystroke on the Light Mount keyboard is smooth and precise, yet whisper-quiet. Our silent linear orange switches are pre-lubricated to reduce friction and noise. We even went the extra mile to lubricate the stabilizers that sit under every large key like Space and Enter, which can often make an unpleasant rattling noise if not treated properly.
TAKE FULL CONTROL - With IO Center With be quiet! IO Center, you can take full control over your Light Mount keyboard and other be quiet! devices like mice. It enables you to configure elaborate per-key lighting effects, remap keys and set up macros in different profiles. The software is using very little system resources while active, and a web-based application is also available.
