Looking for a discreate minimal and quite mech keyboard for work

so as the title says, I'm looking for a keyboard for work, something quite minimal and doesn't flash in everyones face

 

I recently got this office job and the keyboards suck... at home I have a 60% blue cherry MX keyboard which I absolutely adore, while its portable and all, its really loud and I don't want to annoy everyone around me.

 

so if anyone has any good ideas on really quite but tactile switches or something as good as MX blues but silent then I'd appreciate the help

You can get a keyboard with Cherry MX Silent switches, they're pretty quiet. Or reds with o-rings.

Mechs can be made that are quieter that the standard dell keyboard that is in every office.

I have a 60% at worked with lubed Zealios  and sound dampening foam under the PCB, it's pretty damn quiet.

If you really adore that keyboard... Have you perhaps considered buying a second one and mounting rubber O-rings on the switches themselves?

That dampens the sound considerably.

This might be a hard sell, but how about a Matias Quiet Pro? $150, USD. It's linear, and it's an ALPS clone (have fun finding keycaps), but I've heard they are very quiet for a mech.
