Hi guys, im still new at this so let me know if this is a stupid question - im using RK61 with red switches, and thinking of buy new keycaps to make the typing sounds nicer (more 'muted'? ASMR kind).

Looking at this honey & milk keycaps. Want to know if changing the keycaps would make a difference in the sound: https://shopee.com.my/product/385045247/648...56-1628405738.9

Thanks for your advice.

Just gotta remember this "there are no stupid questions"

A keycap change would change the sound profile for sure, in fact, any changes would change the sound as sound is a result of vibrations. Different keycap materials, different keycap thickness, different keycap profile, all would change the sound profile. Lower profile will generally sound "quieter"

You could always search YouTube for a sample sound of the keycap sound, while not 100% reflective of the sound you would get, most people who upload on YouTube would have likely have the same keyboard with different keycap profiles too, especially the less popular keyboard content YouTubers. (Since it's becoming a norm for "popular keeb content YouTubers" to only feature high end keyboard related content)

Make sense. The keycaps im looking seems to be the lower profile (in terms of height). Will check out YouTube and give it a try. Thanks man!
