I’m looking to upgrade soon and thought I might finally try a mechanical keyboard. I’d prefer to not disturb those around me, and I value being able to move my keyboard around freely.
I previously used Logitech and I like their software, and specifically the ability to switch devices was really nice for swapping work to home device. That’s what I started exploring with, but I don’t think I can swap around parts if I go with the MX MECHANICAL. On the other hand, maybe that’s a good thing, since I always hear the line about this being an expensive rabbit hole. If I’m stuck, then maybe I won’t go exploring…
I’ve seen other cool things I liked (numpads, backlights, knobs for volume, subtle dark colors, USB-c), but I’m open to exploring. Wireless + quiet are the only important requirements
Get a barebones keychron of yor choice and get silent switches. Bonus if you mod/lube switches youself.
I switched from a Ducky Legend with Cherry Browns to a Keychron Q6 Pro (recently released, basically wireless tenkey w/ knob option with metal body) with hand lubed Durock Shrimp Tactiles and the noise is night and day difference.
If you get silent linear switches over silent tactiles, itll probably be even more quiet.
The keychrons look pretty cool, I see some with knobs and multidevice connectivity as well which is nice. Would you know if the sold out ones come back often, or should I plan on getting one that is in stock?
Not sure on hoe often they restock, but they do for sure
