Disclaimer: I did about 3 days of browsing, so I don't know enough yet, hoping someone here is kind enough to help.
So I have a Razer Huntsman Elite Keyboard which has Linear Mechanical Switches I believe, and as far as I can tel, the noise coming from this keyboard is probably mostly Keycap Noise. However, I am fully aware that this keyboard is not really mod-able, so I want to replace this one in any case.
What sparked this adventure is that I share a workspace with my Fiance, and she recently informed me that my frenetic typing is giving her anxiety (yes I have already bought her some ANC headphones).
I need some advice from some of you guys if any of you have successfully embarked on this Quiet Keyboard Journey, with purchasing from South African vendors for Warranty purposes. I have seen a couple of good options out there but my limited knowledge of this has me a bit confused. Keychron, Varmilo, Akko and Montech are all keyboards I have seen being sold as ready to use keyboards, but none of them are quiet out of the box.
Then I started looking at DIY kits, but soon realised that this might be something that may end up costing me an arm and a leg when I could have just purchased a membrane keyboard for when we are working together.
So... Any help will be appreciated, and just FYI - i don't really want to spend more than R3000 on a keyboard right now, I have a wedding coming up...
Thanks in advance for any help.
