The new be quiet! keyboard certainly sets standards in terms of versatility and should particularly inspire those who are looking for a highly customizable and flexible board and are equipped with enough small change. Whether for everyday office use, where numerous multifunctional features are required, or for gamers who want to benefit from the extensive configurability – this keyboard should offer impressive options for both worlds. In addition to its sophisticated design and high-quality workmanship, its exceptional noise reduction is particularly impressive. With its extremely quiet typing noise, it is perfect for anyone who prefers a virtually silent experience. Thanks to the wide range of installation and modification options, it opens up completely new ways of customization for users. A keyboard of this type is certainly a rarity in its own right and definitely worth a closer look.
The name “Dark Mount” represents a deliberate semantic and design bridge between the previous MOUNTAIN product line and the design language of be quiet! The be quiet! Dark Mount is therefore not just an alternative to the MOUNTAIN Everest Max, but a deliberate continuation and reinterpretation of its design principles with the aim of acoustic optimization and brand-appropriate design language. It is therefore not only a successor in the technical sense, but also an expression of a strategic repositioning in the premium segment of mechanical keyboards.
With the Dark Mount, however, be quiet! is deliberately setting new accents – particularly in terms of acoustic behavior and haptic perception. While the Everest Max offered various Cherry MX switch options and focused strongly on diversity in tactile feedback, be quiet! is taking the path of a uniform, specifically quiet typing feel with the Dark Mount. The introduction of its own silent switches with internal damping and the two-layer damping concept inside the case show that noise characteristics have been defined as a central differentiating feature. This orientation is clearly in line with the core philosophy of be quiet! as a brand that has always focused on acoustic optimization in other product areas, such as power supply units or coolers. With the acquisition and integration of MOUNTAIN, be quiet! is expanding its portfolio to include a segment that was previously outside its core competence.
Unboxing and scope of delivery
The first glance at the board reveals well thought-out and carefully designed packaging that not only ensures safe transportation, but also offers an orderly and clear unboxing experience. The packaging is divided into two layers, with each component precisely embedded in custom-fit cut-outs to protect it from damage. The first layer presents the heart of the set – the high-quality board, which immediately catches the eye with its robust construction and elegant design. The second level conceals an extensive accessory package that extends the functionality of the board and offers a wide range of customization and individualization options. This multi-level arrangement ensures that each element is securely fixed yet remains easily accessible, which not only ensures the protection of the individual parts but also provides a consistently high-quality unpacking experience.
On the second level is a versatile accessory pack that extends the keyboard’s functionality and increases comfort. This includes an ergonomic wrist rest, which ensures a relaxed posture when typing and thus reduces fatigue. A high-quality, braided USB-C cable ensures a stable and reliable connection. Particularly noteworthy is the separately included numpad, which not only offers the classic numeric keypad function, but is also equipped with additional features that enable even more individual use. This is complemented by a compact additional board, which opens up further customization options and increases the functionality of the keyboard even further. Another innovative element is the set of magnetic spacers, which allows infinite height adjustment and thus enables the keyboard to be ergonomically adapted to the user’s individual needs – a well thought-out solution for maximum comfort and flexibility.
The scope of delivery is extensive and reminiscent of the Everest era.

There are numerous options available to configure the board to suit your own wishes and requirements. From individual customization of the key assignment to macro functions and RGB lighting, there is a wide range of setting options. Different profiles can also be created so that you can quickly switch between different setups depending on the usage scenario – be it for productive work, creative writing or intensive gaming. This versatility makes the board particularly attractive for users who value personalized and flexible operation.
The board also cuts a fine figure without accessories. But if you have already bought all the accessories, you will certainly (want to) use them,
