I just bought myself this keyboard from craigslist, which it is nice and all, but keyboards are definitely not like headphones. I have my trusty Cherry MX Blue switch keyboard, and I do not think I will be able to transition to these Black Alps switches. I was planning on buying this keyboard for when I am at work so I do not have to use a membrane keyboard, but it is actually the same loudness as my blue switches. Anyone else have any experience with these keyboards?

Here is a review of the keyboard. My phone's camera is messed up (HTC M7) or else I would take some pictures of it. I was going to do a little video for you guys for the different sounds, but it doesn't do it justice for the difference of sound and feel. Here is a video of someone typing on the keyboard. 

 

Is this how most non cherry mx switch mechanical keyboards are? I think I may have already been spoiled by my MX blues... When I had to go into work and use a membrane keyboard it actually made me feel grossed out to type on it. 

 

I think I may have to just find myself a cheap MX Brown switch keyboard for work since the blues are a little loud for a work environment. I may action this one off if people would be interested.
