The keyboard sets the actuation point
This Hall-effect record has no fixed pre-travel value. The compatible keyboard, sensor calibration and firmware expose an actuation setting; a freely set point must not be plotted as a manufacturer-fixed mechanical operating point.
Before-you-buy note
Silent is maker positioning, not a Keyswitch Lab acoustic measurement. Compatibility and damping behaviour remain setup-specific.
A useful personal conclusion requires the exact keyboard, plate or integrated structure, mounting, keycaps, modification state, sample count and procedure. Begin with a small sample; do not turn a matching number into a universal sound, comfort or compatibility claim.
