Built around be quiet!’s proprietary Silent Linear switches, the Light Mount features three layers of sound-dampening foam to minimise actuation noise during intense gaming sessions.

Key Specifications

Three Layers of Sound Dampening

The standout feature of the Light Mount is its comprehensive noise reduction system. Three separate layers of sound-dampening foam work together to absorb the acoustic energy from keystrokes, creating a noticeably quieter typing experience. This design proves particularly valuable during late-night gaming sessions or in shared spaces where traditional mechanical keyboards might disturb others.

Premium Build Quality

Constructed from a combination of ABS and aluminium, the Light Mount feels substantial and stable at 1.19 kg. The high-profile keycaps made from PBT material offer superior durability compared to standard ABS, resisting shine and wear over extended use. The double-shot manufacturing process ensures legends won’t fade, maintaining clear visibility of the UK ISO layout throughout the keyboard’s lifespan.

Customisable Gaming Experience

Beyond silent operation, the Light Mount provides extensive gaming features. The ARM Cortex M0 microcontroller enables full programmability of the five hot keys, allowing you to create custom macros and shortcuts. Built-in memory stores your settings, so your configurations travel with the keyboard. The detachable USB Type-C cable and included keycap removal tool make maintenance straightforward, while the ergonomic design with integrated wrist rest supports comfortable extended gaming sessions.
