Matias Quiet Click
Tactile SilentThe living heir to damped Alps: Matias' simplified-Alps tactile with built-in dampening. Alps-style bump and thud, still in production and still keycap-incompatible with MX.
Sound & feel
Canadian company Matias kept the Alps flame alive after the originals were discontinued, producing simplified-Alps switches to this day. The Quiet Click is their damped tactile, a direct descendant of the SKCM Cream Damped concept, with rubber softening both ends of travel.
The bump is recognizably Alps in character, arriving with a damped thud rather than a clack. It is one of very few ways to buy a brand-new keyboard with genuine Alps-style feel, though the rectangular stem still rules out MX keycap sets.
For typists who want vintage lineage without vintage sourcing headaches, or a quiet board with more personality than an MX silent, it remains a distinctive, slightly stubborn choice.
Sound on this page is synthesized from the switch's published specs and community-documented character: an honest simulation, not a recording. We're progressively replacing simulations with our own studio recordings. How our sounds are made
