Modular to the Max

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. The Media Dock with dedicated media keys and a display gives you full control over your video and audio settings. Even the Palm Rest is split and the segmented under the Numpad can also be detached.

8 Customizable Display Keys

You can fully customize 8 dedicated 140x140 Display Keys. Start your favorite 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 JPGs, PNGs, and other common image formats, Dark Mount perfectly matches your favorite loadout.

Mechanical be quiet! Switches

Our silent tactile 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, Fans of customization will appreciate that each switch is hot swappable with other 5-pin MX style switches.

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. The space bar received a bonus layer of dampening, with foam inside the keycap body to reduce echo effects.

Durable and Ergonomic

Dark Mount comes with a black brushed aluminum plate for a sleek style and increased durability. PBT double-shot injection keycaps due to their resistance to wear and tear. The stackable, magnetic feet support 3 different angles of 3°, 6°, or 9°. 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.

Striking Lighting

The Dark Mount's customization options are maximized 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.

Manufacturers Directory

The be quiet! Dark Mount BT002US is a full-size wired mechanical gaming keyboard with silent tactile switches, three layers of sound-dampening, and a detachable numpad and media dock; it suits gamers and typists who want tactile feedback, quieter keystrokes, and a modular setup.

Recommended For

People who type or game in shared rooms or late at night and want a mechanical keyboard with quieter keystrokes; reviews highlight the Dark Mount’s sound-dampened typing as a core strength.
People who switch between data entry and mouse-heavy work or gaming: the detachable numpad can be moved to either side or removed to open up mouse space.
Streamers and workflow-focused users who want dedicated programmable keys and a media dock for shortcuts, media controls, or launching frequently used actions.
Tactile-switch users who want a noticeable actuation feel for everyday typing and gaming, while keeping keyboard noise relatively restrained.

Real-World Use Scenarios

In a shared room or during late-night work, someone can type without the sharp clatter common to many mechanical keyboards; reviews describe the sound as notably dampened, though not silent.
For spreadsheets, bookkeeping, or frequent number entry, attach the numpad for a familiar full-size layout; its position can also be changed to suit the desk setup.
When desk space is tight or more room is needed for mouse movement, remove the numpad and use the main keyboard on its own; the board can then serve as a more compact TKL-style setup.
For everyday gaming in a shared home, the dampened tactile keys provide feedback without as much typing noise; the dedicated Game Mode can help avoid accidental key combinations interrupting play.
For a workflow with repeated app launches, macros, or media adjustments, configure the Display Keys and reprogrammable controls as shortcuts, while using the Media Dock for playback and volume controls.

Reference Q&A

Q: Is the Dark Mount a good choice if quiet typing is my priority?

A: It may suit you if you want a quiet mechanical keyboard with tactile feedback. Reddit owners describe it as quiet while still feeling firm and responsive. However, some owners report occasional double keystrokes, so buy from a seller with a clear return or exchange policy.

Q: Should I buy it if I need a dependable keyboard for work?

A: It can work for typing, and owners describe its keystrokes as quiet and responsive. But Reddit discussions include reports of double typing and intermittent software or lighting problems. Those reports are individual experiences, not evidence of how often faults occur; consider the return and support options before choosing it for work-critical use.

Q: Are the software and programmable features reliable?

A: User feedback is mixed. Some owners report using the keyboard without issues, while others describe glitches with profiles, lighting, or key assignments in IO Center. If you want to frequently customize keys or lighting, be prepared for possible troubleshooting; the reports do not establish how common these problems are.

Q: Does the detachable numpad make the Dark Mount more practical?

A: The modular numpad can be attached on either side or removed, which users describe as useful for changing the layout or freeing desk space. It is a better fit if you value that flexibility than if you want a simpler, fixed-layout keyboard.
