well you are still going to hear noise no matter what  you can try  watching the reviews on the K55  and the Corsair Strafe  also the G910 that  @circeseye mentioned below

A cheap option would be to replace the switches on your current mechanical keyboard with silenced switches (Zilents, Aliaz, Gateron Silent, Cherry silent), and lube the stabilisers. Add some thick keycaps, and it should reduce the noise a bit more. 

 

Alternatively, get QMX clips, but only if your keyboard uses linear or tactile switches. They are sometimes available on Massdrop, though you can get them other places.

The K55 is not mechanical, but uses rubber domes. If you want a quiet mechanical keyboard, check out the Matias Quiet Pro.
