Master_Bass 07/25/22 10:51:45 PM #14:	Keychron makes some good stuff. They're great for beginners, or someone that wants a good product that's actually in stock. I'd recommend their Q series if you want a premium feeling board that's like one you'd get from a group buy. They're gasket mounted which is the hot thing these days and made of aluminum. I'm far enough into the hobby that I'm currently waiting on quite a few groupbuy boards and keycap sets to arrive. This hobby is one big waiting game, lol. What kind of switches are you getting? I'm fond of long pole linears lately. My currently keyboard uses Prevail Nebula switches, but they're currently out of stock.

I have linear and they have a slight noise but not a loud clacking and give a nice feedback when typing. other types are super soft with no noise Yeah, there's so much that goes into the sound of the keyboard. The switches are important, the mounting style of the keyboard (tray, top mount, burger, gasket, etc.), the inner design of the case, tuning the stabilizers, if there's foam in the case, etc. It's silly to call all mechanical keyboards loud monstrosities. You can tune pretty much any board to make it quieter if that's what you want. Starks posted... I need a new keyboard but I want silent switches. Which ones are those? Go for Gazzew Boba U4 if you want a silent tactile switch or Gazzew Bobagum if you like linear switches. It's easiest to use those if you buy a hotswap board that let's you easily change switches.
