Hi guys,
quite new to mech keyboard here. Any recommendation for quiet mech keyboard for office use? I just got myself a brown switch Tecware phantom but it's too noisy to use in my office. My office is as quiet as library one. price i think budget/affordable one please
i think you should try touch typing. since your board has tactile switches, it's easy to do that. (just stop when you feel the bumps; there is no need to bottom out)
the better options are those with silent switches like cherry mx silent red. however their price might be at the higher ends.
alternatively, you can try do the following (since you can access all the parts below in your board):
1. put o-rings under key caps;
2. put anti-slip mat between pcb and bottom case;
3. switch lubing; lube the springs, switch tops, switch housings, and stems (just don't lube the 2 extrusions that are in contact with metal leafs);
4. stabilizer tuning; lube the stabs, and add band-aid mod.
the above in combo will help reduce noise levels when you type.
