Be Quiet! Dark Mount gaming keyboard review

Be Quiet's Dark Mount mechanical keyboard seen on a desk. The modular media dock and numberpad attachments are attached. The two-part magnetic wrist rest is attached. The RGB lights are on, bathing everything in orange light.

I recently interrupted a colleague mid-flow on an old Razer Huntsman to ask why they enjoy clacky keyboards so much. In response, they offered me an impassioned speech about mechanical keyboards, concluding with the words "God, I wish it had a lever, you know? Something I could pull at the end of every line — like a type writer!"

Seems some of us yearn for a return to ~ The Contraption ~ but what if you still want that tactility without the risk of waking up the whole house with your 3 AM machinations (or in my case, yet another run of Blue Prince because I refuse to be beaten by a shape shifting mansion of all things)? Well, stewards of silence Be Quiet have recently expanded into peripherals, ushering in sound dampened gaming keyboards that will allow you to plot in peace. As a modular, full-size keyboard, the Dark Mount not only enjoys versatility, but a premium price point to match at $255/£240/€260.
