be quiet! Light Mount Silent Tactile Mechanical Keyboard BT004US
The be quiet! Light Mount Silent Tactile Mechanical Keyboard is a gaming keyboard designed for typists and players who want responsive keypresses without the noise. Its pre-lubricated switches, three layers of sound-absorbing foam, and lubricated stabilizers combine to deliver tactile feedback with whisper-quiet operation.
Why this product
Silent tactile switches with pre-lubrication
Each keystroke registers with a clear tactile point but minimal noise, thanks to factory-lubricated be quiet! Silent Tactile switches and lubricated Cherry stabilizers under large keys.
Three foam layers for sound dampening
Foam sits between switches and PCB, under the PCB, and fills the bottom housing to absorb noise across the entire keyboard structure.
Hot-swappable for custom switch options
All switches use standard 5-pin Cherry MX format sockets, so you can replace them with any compatible mechanical switches without soldering.
Per-key ARGB lighting with underglow
Customize lighting on each key individually, plus RGB LED strips on the top edge and sides create atmospheric effects around your desk.
Programmable media wheel and macro keys
A 3D aluminum media wheel controls volume and mute by default, while 5 dedicated macro keys can be programmed for media or game-specific actions.

Each keystroke on the Light Mount keyboard is snappy and precise, yet whisper-quiet. Our silent tactile black 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. Fans of customization will appreciate that each switch is hot-swappable with other 5-pin MX style switches.
A total of 3 sound-absorbing layers ensure that Light Mount lives up to the name of "be quiet!" and each gaming session is running smoothly without annoying typing noise. One layer of foam is between the switches and the PCB, another is under the PCB and a third fills the bottom housing.
Light Mount's customization options are maximized with per-key ARGB lighting. Highlight important keys or create stunning effects. The translucent legends of the double-shot keycaps shine brilliantly thanks to an arched diffuser in each switch. The top edge of the keyboard also glows in your favorite colors, while ARGB LED strips on the sides provide a subtle underglow effect. This keyboard goes well with any RGB gaming PC.
Take control of your music and videos with a programmable aluminum 3D Media Wheel. By default, it controls the volume, and you can press it to mute and unmute. A total of 5 mechanical macro keys can be programmed to control the rest of your media or set to game-specific actions.
Light Mount comes with a black brushed aluminum plate for a sleek style and increased durability. PBT double-shot injection keycaps are the choice due to their resistance to wear and tear. For maximum comfort and ergonomics, the feet can be adjusted to 3 angled positions and a magnetic cushioned Palm Rest snaps into place for a more natural hand position.
With be quiet! IO Center, you can take full control over your Light Mount keyboard and other be quiet! devices like mice.
