i've tried the k10 he and the thock is real but it's more muted than traditional mechanicals. hall effect switches sound cleaner because there's less leaf noise. for $153 usd that's actually a solid deal - keychron's he boards are well built. if you want deeper sound, swap the stock caps for cerakey

Some of the differences: Programmability/configurability: The K10 (not to be confused with K10 V2) has proprietary firmware, with practical nothing that can be configured, and the rest are fully programmable (with released source code), with some configuration possible using GUI tools. An example of

My recommendation if you don’t want to build one is to get a Keychron K10 Pro, you can get it with silent red switches on Amazon for around $100 and it is very nice in my experience for working. It has a very similar noise level to membrane keyboards but it feels much better imo.

A few things to start off: First of all, $30-$50 is a very tight budget for a good keyboard, and Amazon limits it even further. Second, an unfortunate trend (imo) has led to keyboards with numpads (100%, full size) being a premium feature due to less demand. I don’t think I have a good recommendatio

For a fullsize board that will last a while for the workplace, I suggest something like a keychron v5, v6, k4, or k10. Make sure you get the hotswap version, then put in something like ttc frozen silent v2 switches or ttc bluish white silent switches. The ttc switches are nice becasue, while they mi

HE is basically light (40-45g) linear only, and manufacturer-locked to specific HE switches. As I'm 100% only, here's my list. Not all of them are ISO but they (DP104 etc) are over the budget anyway. I have K10 Pro and V6 Max and Q6, and the V6 Max is the nicest of them to be honest. Sounds good (ve

The Keychron K10 pro is decent for the price, but keep in mind that the silent red switches still have a bit of a thock sound when bottomed out If noise level is a big concern, you might want to check reviews or videos to see how it compares to what you’re used to.

This isn’t on your list, but the black and brown Keychron K10 HE has been a game changer for me. Reliable, durable, simple plug n play .. feels great and sounds great out of the box, and doesn’t break the bank. Been my main driver for many months now.

TLDR - Edit - just realized you want 75 so then the Rainy75 or K2 HE My recommendation is to go to a store like Microcenter or BestBuy and buy a couple that you have narrowed down and keep the one that feels the best to you and return the other. My preference for your price range would be the Wobkey
