New Keyboard - Recommendations?

[[TC] Stephen]

If you go cherry switches, avoid blue and razer green (they ripped off blues and coloured them green basically) at all costs. They are loud and clicky (I would say unbelievably annoying) but they are tactile switches. If you want quiet(er) cherry switches, go with browns. There's plenty of youtube videos with comparisons.

Mechanical keyboards can be quiet to use. When you're so used to rubber domes, you tend to mash the keys alot which is what makes them noisy to use.. Once you get used to the lighter force of the browns or reds, they become much quieter to use.

I just mash the keys all the time for the hell of it though
