be quiet! enters the peripheral space with launch of the Dark Mount, Light Mount and Dark Perk

be quiet!  – known for its cases, power supplies, fans and coolers – has announced its entry into the peripheral space with the release of a trio of new products: the Dark Mount and Light Mount keyboards, as well as the Dark Perk mouse. KitGuru recently visited Hamburg to attend their launch event and to get a first-hand look at what we can expect.

Back in 2022, Listan GmbH (The parent company of be quiet!) acquired peripheral manufacturer ‘Mountain' – known for their Everest Core and Everest Max keyboards. Featuring modular designs and utilising addons such as an additional numpad and media dock, the Everest keyboards brought a fresh take to a sea of generic keyboards.

Since then, be quiet! have been working on pushing this design even further, while adding in their signature acoustic profiling. The brand is now announcing the fruits of their labour with the release of the Dark Mount and Light Mount keyboards, alongside the Dark Perk mouse.

The keyboards promise silent gaming and aim to push noise reduction and performance to ‘an entirely new level'

The top of the line Dark Mount, is heavily inspired by the Mountain Everest Max – with a detachable media dock and numpad being top of the feature list.

The Light Mount keyboard takes a more traditional approach with a more RGB heavy design. Both keyboards feature either silent linear orange or silent tactile brown switches, developed in house by be quiet! as well as several layers of dampening material to help with noise absorption.

Alongside these keyboards, the announcement also sees the launch of the Dark Perk mice. Available in both a symmetrical and ergonomic design and featuring up to 8khz wireless polling rate, Pixart PAW3950 sensors and weighing 55g – these mice are taking aim at the ultralight FPS sector.

Full releases of the Dark Mount, Light Mount and Dark Perk are scheduled for April 29th.

KitGuru says: Not everyone wants their keyboard to ‘thock' – the focus on silent gaming could provide a great alternative for gamers looking for something more on the quiet side
