GT06 Clicky Switch: Quiet Comfort Without Compromise

When it comes to clicky switches, one question comes up more than any other:“How loud are they, and will the noise disturb me or the people around me?”

This concern is especially true for buyers considering traditional clicky switches (like Cherry MX Blue or Kailh Box White), which deliver a sharp sound that some love — but many find distracting in offices, homes, or shared spaces.

The Unionwell GT06 clicky switch was engineered with this problem in mind. It provides the tactile satisfaction of a clicky switch while keeping noise levels low, making it one of the quietest high-performance switches in its class.

Why Noise Matters in Clicky Switches

• Office environments: Loud switches can disrupt coworkers.

• Home use: Family members or roommates may find the noise annoying.

• Online communication: During voice chats or streaming, loud clicks often bleed into microphones.

Traditional clicky switches mimic the sound of a typewriter — fun for enthusiasts, but not always practical. That’s why many buyers hesitate before choosing a clicky switch.

How GT06 Solves the Noise Problem

Unionwell designed the GT06, a silent clicky switch, to deliver the best of both worlds:

• Soft tactile and linear options provide responsive feedback without the sharp “click” sound.

• Noise-dampening engineering reduces the impact sound on both press and release.

• Smooth travel path ensures consistent actuation without unnecessary rattle.

The result? A clicky switch that feels satisfying to type on, yet stays quiet enough for offices, late-night gaming, and professional environments.
