Best silent 60% mechanical keyboard?

PointFive
Go to solution Solved by PointFive,

Thanks for all the suggestions, will probably go for the ducky and mod it a bit using the suggestions, thanks!

Does such thing exist, that is not custom made? Haha. I am really loving my current mechanical keyboard, but because it is a full sized one, it takes up quite a bit of space. So I am in the market for a 60% one for my day to day typing.

 

Thanks in advanced!

If your looking for silent linear switches. The Ducky One 2 mini comes in MX silent blacks/reds or kailh box silent pinks.

Lube your stabs also. A ratelly stabilizer will add more noise than any switch that isn't a clicky switch. 

Thanks for the input, might try this soon

for the best silent board, you're going to start heading into custom territory.  in the end I would look at the Ducky One2 (silent reds/yellows/silent blacks)- lube and clip the stabs - add foam/insulation between the case and pcb.

Check Anne pro 2, you can personalize to your taste and needs, also its wireless so it comes handy if you loads of systems.

get something with silent specific switches ... add some sound dampening material inside, clip, lube and "band aid" stabs and if you can lube the switches spring is they make noise and maybe film them ... get some thick double shot keycaps and you should be good to go ...

 

as for silent switches I have a bias toward the kailh silent box switches ... pink for linear and brown for tactile.
