be quiet! adds TKL option to gaming keyboards

Tired of cluttered desks and distracting noise? If you are looking for a way to maximize typing efficiency while maintaining a clean aesthetic, be quiet! is stepping up the game with a new peripheral that promises both compact design and premium silence: the Light Mount TKL.

This isn’t just another keyboard; it’s a radical rethinking of the mechanical experience. The Light Mount TKL embraces an 80% layout, cleverly eliminating the dedicated numpad to liberate precious desk real estate. This compact footprint appeals directly to users who demand efficiency without sacrificing functionality.

Silence is built into the very foundation of the design. The keyboard utilizes be quiet!‘s renowned Silent V2 switches, available in both linear orange and tactile black variants. To ensure that the performance comes without the clamor, the keyboard incorporates three layers of sound dampening material, effectively neutralizing vibrations and delivering a whisper-quiet typing experience.

Beyond quiet operation, the TKL is packed with high-end features designed for enthusiasts. It boasts PBT double-shot keycaps, supports hot-swap functionality for 5-pin MX-style switches, and features a sleek brushed aluminium top plate. For ultimate personalization, users will also find a detachable palm rest and a braided USB-C cable to customize their setup.

The customization options extend to the aesthetics and interaction. The keyboard includes an aluminium media wheel, three dedicated macro or multimedia keys, and per-key ARGB lighting that illuminates both the keys and the side bars. To enhance responsiveness in fast-paced gaming, it introduces be quiet!‘s ‘Quick Tap’ system, which instantly prioritizes recent directional inputs for superior strafing control.

Connectivity and configuration remain seamless. The Light Mount TKL integrates smoothly with the IO Center software, allowing users to configure their settings and store them directly on the keyboard’s onboard memory. This means your perfect setup travels effortlessly between different computers.

The new keyboard launches on August 25th in multiple international layouts—including DE ISO, FR ISO, UK ISO, and US ANSI—in Silent Orange and Silent Black colorways. It is priced at £119.90.

Adding to the range, be quiet! is also releasing an XL version of their popular mousepad later this month, available for £24.90, ensuring that users have a complete package for their next high-performance setup.
