Full-size keyboards are a pain. 93% isn't easy to get. Be Quiet!'s Light Mount, with its perfect balance of performance and quiet keys, has been a top choice, but that full-size format just doesn't work for everyone - which is why a TKL version, announced at Computex, is a big deal, especially with an August launch just around the corner.
It's cheap. The full-sized Light Mount costs $170. You'll get a lot for that. We've seen TKL keyboards go for less, which is good news for you. They've got the features, it's just smaller. Here's the thing: the real feel of Be Quiet!'s Light Mount is worth mentioning, with honesty in their pricing, we've got a key point to consider, for the August release of the TKL version.
- Three layers of sound-dampening foam
- Factory-lubricated switches for a smoother tactile experience
- Hot-swappable 5-pin switch support
- Per-key RGB lighting that's as vibrant as it is customizable
<strong>Light Mount TKL: The Silent Decimator</strong>
It's quiet. You'll like the sound-dampened clacks. The real feel of Be Quiet! is in the details. We've seen the vibrant per-key RGB lighting in action - it's pretty sweet. With a convenient media wheel and solid build, they've made a great keyboard. The Light Mount goes compact now, with a TKL version coming in August.
"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—even the software offers few reasons to complain!"

Silent Shooter: Light Mount TKL Hits August
It's a fact. Be Quiet! made the Light Mount TKL. They also showed the Mousepad XL. This mousepad is huge, you'll get a lot of space with 900 x 500 mm. The base is 3 mm, it's anti-slip, that's key. For precise tracking, it's all about the fabric, which is soft and smooth. With specs like those, it's in the big leagues. Pricing is the real question, we've got no idea what it'll cost, and that's what matters.
You'll see it's big. So the Pure Base 803 is a PC case with room for back-connect motherboards. It's got space for up to 7 HDDs. They've included generous cooling options, too, with support for up to 3 x 420 mm radiators and 2 x 140 rear fans. For gamers, the wait continues. No new mouse was announced at Computex, which is key for those looking to complete their setup, we've got to wait a bit longer for that.
<strong>The Light Mount TKL Fixes Be Quiet!'s Biggest Flaw</strong>
It's a key moment. The Light Mount TKL is coming in August. You'll get the same quiet performance, just in a smaller package. For those seeking high-performance, quiet keyboards, this compact version is worth mentioning. They've taken the original's successful formula, with its great balance of stealth and gaming capabilities, and shrunk it down. We've seen the original's acclaim, now it's time to see if the TKL version can deliver, especially with its pricing, which is likely to be closely watched by gamers and enthusiasts alike, particularly if it undercuts the full-size version without sacrificing quality.
The Bad Gamer Take
Be Quiet! will release a more affordable TKL version of their Light Mount keyboard in August because they understand the demand for compact keyboards with high-performance features. This move will likely attract more gamers to their brand, especially with the inclusion of hot-swappable switches and per-key RGB lighting. WATCH the pricing of the Light Mount TKL, which is expected to be lower than the full-sized version's $170 price tag.
You'll get it in August. That's when Be Quiet! launches the Light Mount TKL. It's key to getting the price right. With a good balance of features and cost, they've got a winner. Be Quiet! is in a good spot to take on the gaming keyboard market, giving you a great option for quiet gaming and top performance in a smaller package, which is worth mentioning.
