be quiet! is expanding its gaming peripheral portfolio with the introduction of Light Mount TKL and Mousepad XL. Designed for enthusiasts who demand precision, comfort and durability, Light Mount TKL combines a space-saving 80% layout with advanced silent mechanical switches, premium materials and extensive customization options. Available in both linear and tactile Silent V2 Switches variants, it delivers a smooth, quiet, and highly responsive typing experience for gamers, creators and professionals alike.

Alongside Light Mount TKL, be quiet! is also launching Mousepad XL, a premium extra-large mousepad designed to complement modern setups with a smooth fabric surface, a stable anti-slip base, and minimalistic styling. Together, the two products reflect be quiet!’s focus on thoughtful engineering and high-quality materials.

Aaron Licht, CEO of be quiet!, says: “With Light Mount TKL, we are bringing the same attention to silence, comfort and premium design to a more compact keyboard format. Mousepad XL extends that philosophy with a refined, stable and spacious foundation for everyday use.”
Light Mount TKL: Compact size without sacrifices

Light Mount TKL is designed for users who want more room for mouse movement without sacrificing the performance and features expected from a premium mechanical keyboard. Its compact tenkeyless layout removes the numpad, creating a cleaner and more space-efficient setup for gaming and productivity. The keyboard is built around be quiet!’s Silent V2 Switches, available in orange linear and black tactile versions, which have an increased thickness of the gold compact point and optimized lubricated for improved responsiveness and whisper-quiet operation.

A triple-layer dampening system helps minimize typing noise and resonance, with foam positioned between the switches and PCB, below the PCB, and inside the bottom housing. Light Mount TKL also features high-quality PBT double-shot keycaps, hot-swappable support for 5-pin MX-style switches, a brushed aluminum top plate, and a detachable braided USB-C cable. Folding feet with three angled positions and a modular magnetic palm rest increase its ergonomics.

For control and customization, the keyboard offers an aluminum 3D Media Wheel, three macro or multimedia keys, per-key ARGB illumination, and illuminated side bars. A new feature for the Light Mount series is Quick Tap (SOCD), which prioritizes the most recent input when opposing movement keys are pressed, giving users faster directional changes in supported scenarios.
IO Center: Adjusting lighting, macros, settings, and more

be quiet!’s IO Center for Windows software gives Light Mount TKL users full control over their keyboard experience, allowing them to customize per-key RGB lighting, assign unique colors and effects, remap keys for shortcuts, macros or Windows functions, and configure Quick Tap settings and paired keys. It also lets users create FN layer assignments, record and edit macros with up to 999 events, activate Game Mode, and keep the keyboard up to date with firmware updates, while storing many settings directly on the keyboard’s onboard memory so they remain active even when the software is not running. Another new unique feature is Color Calibration, which can fine-tune the Light Mount LED color to other devices in your system.

For those who prefer to not install software or who use a different operating system, IO Center for Web can be used on most Chrome-based browsers and allows access to most features.
Mousepad XL: Elegant, smooth, and extra-large

Mousepad XL is designed for gamers and creatives who want a spacious, stable, and elegant desk surface. Its optimized soft and smooth fabric surface is made for precise tracking, effortless glide and lasting comfort, while the extra-large 900 x 500mm format provides generous room for both mouse and keyboard.

A 3mm anti-slip rubber base helps keep the mousepad in place while reducing vibrations and desk noise. High-quality stitched borders prevent fraying and help the mousepad maintain its shape over time, while the sleek black design with subtle lines blends easily into a wide range of setups.
