Silent keyswitches for Razer Blackwidow Chroma?

zPanic

I'm looking for silent keyswitches for my Razer Blackwidow Chroma, if that's even possible.

I'm a very fast typer (about 145wpm), and when I'm typing while being on Discord with friends it sounds like I'm smashing my keyboard furiously as if I'm trying to hack into Donald Trump's launch codes. Also doesn't help that I'm using a Blue Yeti as my microphone, which is fairly close to my keyboard.

 

I know a mechanical keyboard doesn't go well with recording sound/voice chat, but if there's any way to make it more silent I would appreciate any suggestions.

O-rings are made of rubber and sit between the bottom of the keycap and the keyboard itself. One of the largest noise factors with mechanical keyboards is the impact of the keycap onto the keyboard surface, so o-ring should help with softening it.
