If you’re looking for a ‘quiet’ gaming keyboard that is actually quiet, Be Quiet!’s Light Mount is a truly excellent gaming keyboard (and one we gave it 93% in our review<\/a> last year). However, if that one is simply too big to fit comfortably on your desk, the gaming brand is putting out a TKL model this year. <\/p>\n

Announced at Computex, the Be Quiet! Light Mount TKL is like the normal one, but, well, smaller. We’re told it’s expected to launch at some point in August this year, but we don’t yet have a price point. TKLs tend to be a little cheaper than their full-length counterparts\u2014though that isn’t always the case and sometimes they even cost more\u2014so I’m hoping it’s tens of dollars cheaper than the $170 full-sized keeb. <\/p>\n

If you are unfamiliar, the Be Quiet! Light Mount employs three layers of sound-dampening foam and factory-lubricated switches. In her review of the original, our Jess said, “though by no means silent, I’m definitely a fan of the sound-dampened clacks on Be Quiet’s Light Mount. It lives up to its name in more ways than one, too, boasting vibrant, head-turning per-key RGB lighting\u2014even the software offers few reasons to complain!” <\/p>\n
