Office use can be supported by selecting a quiet switch
The switch uses a new generation model jointly developed by Gateron and NuPhy.
The normal profile version will have a Gateron Max switch and the low profile version will have a Gateron Nano switch 3.0.
As for the new model, low-profile and high-profile (normal mechanical keyboard height) are selectable, and silent switches are available for each.
