Modular to the Max
Hot-Swappable Numpad and Media Dock
For maximum comfort and customisation, the Dark Mount Numpad can be attached to either the left or right side of the keyboard – or left off entirely when space is at a premium, for example at a LAN party. A Media Dock with dedicated media keys and a display always gives you full control over your video and audio settings and can be mounted in 2 positions, either on the left or right. Even the Palm Rest is split and the segment under the Numpad can also be attached on either side.
Your Skill on Display
8 Customisable Display Keys
You can fully customise 8 dedicated 140x140 Display Keys. Start your favourite game, go live with your stream, or bind custom macros to the keys and take advantage of the preconfigured icon library or upload your own image. With support for animated GIFs, JPGs, PNGs, and other common image formats, Dark Mount perfectly matches your favourite loadout.
Mechanical Be Quiet! Silent Switches
With Factory-Lubrication
Each keystroke is smooth and precise, yet whisper-quiet. Our silent linear orange switches are pre-lubricated to reduce friction and noise. After careful consideration and testing different materials, we chose a PA66 nylon housing for a muted sound profile and a POM stem for smooth actuations, to provide the best possible typing experience. We even went the extra mile to lubricate the stabilisers that sit under every large key like Space and Enter, which can often make an unpleasant rattling noise if not treated properly, and cushioned the contact point between stabiliser and PCB for extra sound-dampening. Fans of customisation will appreciate that each switch is hot-swappable with other 5-pin MX style switches.
Rule of 3
Triple-Layered Dampening
A total of 3 sound-absorbing layers ensure that Dark Mount lives up to the name of “be quiet!”. One layer of foam is between the switches and the PCB, another is under the PCB, and silicone padding is filling the bottom housing. Any potential echoing noises are immediately muted. The space bar received a bonus layer of dampening, with foam inside the keycap body to reduce echo effects.
Last Keyboard Standing
Durable and Ergonomic
Dark Mount comes with a black brushed aluminium plate for a sleek style and increased durability. PBT double-shot injection keycaps are the choice of champions due to their resistance to wear and tear. Not only is this keyboard built to last, it stays comfortable to use even after many hours of gaming, thanks to its ergonomic prowess. The stackable, magnetic feet support 3 different angles of 3°, 6°, or 9°, and the magnetic cushioned two-part Palm Rest snaps onto the keyboard for a more natural hand position. If you take your Dark Mount on the road, the 2m USB-A-to-C cable and Numpad can be easily detached from the keyboard. Dark Mount is a 100% gaming keyboard and available with US QWERTY layout.
Striking Lighting
Per-Key Glow Effect
Dark Mount’s customisation options are maximised with per-key ARGB lighting. Highlight important keys or create stunning effects. The translucent legends of the double-shot keycaps shine brilliantly thanks to an arched diffuser in each switch. A lightbar surrounding the keyboard creates atmospheric ARGB LED lighting on your desk that goes along with any RGB gaming PC, perfectly in line with your personal style.
Take Full Control
With IO Center
With be quiet! IO Center, you can take full control over your Dark Mount keyboard and other be quiet! devices like mice. It enables you to configure elaborate per-key lighting effects, remap keys and set up macros in different profiles. You can also customise the Display Keys and Media Dock. The software uses very little system resources while active, and a web-based application is also available.
