K10 Max

Are the switches replaceable on the mechanical keyboard? If so, some cheap 'silent' switches are the way to go, or o-rings if you don't mind the mushy feeling? Have you considered a low profile keyboard? they tend to be a lot quieter out of the box. The Apple Magic keyboards are low profile, come in

My new keyboard finally came in. I was so used to my old broken one at home that I can't stop typing now. The sound is great, I've never had RGB before, and it just feels so dang good. For those curious, it is a Keychron K10 Max with Keychron Super Banana switches.

I’m no expert on them, but I googled it and this is the first comparison that popped up: Keychron Q6 Max Build: Full aluminum case, gasket mount, very heavy for stability, premium feel. Connectivity: Wired only (but the "Max" version is now wireless too, check specs), QMK/VIA support for deep custom

They’re like Pokémon. I have 10 or so between Nuphy, Keychron, Asus, monsgeek, and lofree. My favorites are my k10 max, halo75v2, and air75 v3, and. Kick75. I just rotated back to the air75 from the kick75. Sometimes you just need a different feel and sound.

Keychron has several 100% models. Something like the K10 Max or V6 Ultra and then swap out the switches for some silent switches, should be in the 150 range or less. I've been using a K10 Max with Outemu Silent Yellow Jades for the past year and it is pretty quiet.

Not sure what you're referring to but I see nothing but good reviews for it. I've had a Keychron Q1 Pro for a while now and absolutely love it. Zero issues. Best action, even the best noise. I type faster now than I used to because of it. I like it so much I just bought a K10 Max for my second PC.

Gasket mounts are good. Read up about why they're used. You get stiffer and softer mounts. Often, keyboards with stiffer plates and rubber or large silicone gaskets won't even feel like they have a gasket mount, but they'll have decent sound characteristics — sound is the main reason to buy a gasket

Have a Keychron K10 Max with silent red switches and it does not impact my listening ability in any way

My first recommendation would be to look at Keychron. People do have their valid criticisms but their mid-tier lineup is pretty exceptional for the price. Recently I picked up a TKL from their R line, which has an 1800 layout, and I tried to be as critical as possible and walked away really happy wi
