I don't think anyone cares about your keyboard. Type on a qwerty screen. That's silent 😶


You must be confused i am not looking for you to care. This is about finding a silent mechanical keyboard not a qwerty screen suggestions.

Loudness depends on the switch.
I'd definitely go on youtube for sound tests on switches and pick ones you like.
Make sure to get prelubed or if you're building a keyboard yourself get a kit.

Everything from the chasis, key plastic, padding in the keyboard, and key switches have everything to do with how it sounds.
I have some painters tape and a peice of foam to absorb some sound, and make a "thockier" sound.
I built my first keyboard about 2 years ago? Was fun but tedious.

Milky yellows, manually lubed.
Some key cap set I found on amazon.

I did exactly that I think outemu switches were very comparable to all the premium super silent switches and I am more that happy how they sounded. I figured I might mod the keyboard further with fun key caps later but it will be a direct upgrade to the one I have.

I got a cheap Redragon keyboard and it's not that loud. It says it has a gasket, which is supposed to help reduce the noise. It was only like $37, so maybe look into that brand.
