At home I have a Das Keyboard with Cherry MX browns and they feel great. I think this is the quickest I’ve been able to type on any keyboard.

I type a lot for my new job and no one cares if I bring in my own keyboard but for my coworkers sake, I don’t think I want to bring in browns. I’m a heavy typer and frankly I’m loud on browns.

I searched for quieter keys and found Cherry MX Red Silents (Durgod keyboard) but after typing on it a few days at work, I’m making way more mistakes, I’m typing slower, and my hands are more fatigued. That’s when I learned about linear vs tactile… I think tactile is what I need.

So with that, I’m looking for:

Need:

  • Tactile
  • Light switches (should take much force to activate? idk. Browns are good for me, for reference)
  • Quiet
  • 100% layout

Want:

  • Switches I can put the Draula keycaps on that my friend bought me. I just know they fit fine on Cherry MX Browns and Red Silent.
  • USB-C port. I have a coiled cable I want to use already.

Nice to have:

  • Hot swappable PCB

Open to other info I’m not thinking about.
