Be Quiet! Light Mount TKL review
Be Quiet! has released an updated version of its silent gaming keyboard with the Light Mount TKL model. The keyboard features an 80% form factor—smaller than full-size keyboards but maintaining adequate space for mouse movement and gaming use. According to PC Gamer’s review, the TKL model introduces Be Quiet!’s next-generation Silent switches, available in both Linear and Tactile variants.
The Light Mount TKL is specifically designed for gamers playing during late-night hours when other household members are sleeping. The keyboard’s primary appeal is its quiet mechanical switches, addressing a pain point for mechanical keyboard enthusiasts who need to minimize noise during evening gaming sessions. The 80% size offers practical benefits beyond noise reduction, including more desk space for mouse movement and reduced accidental keypresses compared to more aggressively cut-down keyboard formats.
This TKL model represents an update to Be Quiet!’s original Light Mount keyboard, which the PC Gamer reviewer praised in the previous year. The new version addresses issues the reviewer had with the original design, though specific improvements aren’t fully detailed in the available excerpt.
