The Ambients are based on the original Kailh Choc V1 switch, but are a completely new design, having all their parts redesigned to accommodate the new components required to quieten the typical switch noise. Silicone bumpers have been strategically placed within the new design to buffer both the down and the up stroke of a keypress, all while not creating a mushy feeling while typing.

These are fairly silent and feel very smooth. They're a little scratchy but once you break them in it's a very good experience. It isn't mushy like a normal silent switch, the switch bottom out is very firm.
I didn't know what I was getting myself into. Some switches that say silent are just slightly quiet but not these. Im never looking back. The feel is responsive and actually silent. If I need more I'll definitely be getting more
Started with the Nocturnals on just the thumb keys of my Voyager. Progressed to have Ambient Twilights on homerow only and Nocturnals on all the rest. Definitely taught me not to bottom out like I used to. Much better for the hands.

(keyboard : ZSA Voyager)
I was using Khail pink chocs as Iove the MX Silent Pinks, but the keys were still extremely noisy, with a lot of plastic on plastic clicking happening. Typing felt a bit lose too.
The ambient silent linear nocturnals fulfill all the expectations I had from the pinks : EXTREMELY quiet ... so much so that, even using the keyboard and knowing when a key is pressed, I barely hear anything except for the occasional very satisfying chonk, and the tactile feedback (on linears!) is amazing!
You really need these switches if you want *really* quiet and comfortable linear chocs with low weight and travel! I seriously don't know how they could be better.
PSA : you'll need 6 "boxes" to replace all switches on a Voyager.
