Workstation Grade Keyboards

[Guest]

Just wondering, would you guys consider mechanical keyboards to be work station grade? 

 

I mean I really love the idea of being able to switch and swap key caps but even cherry mx browns are pretty loud for me, just checking to see what you guys think 

 

Would you prefer chiclet style keys for working/workstations?

You could always try to get rubber O-rings to help mitigate the sound of them bottoming out.  I got some from mass drop for pretty cheap once upon a time.

For working, I could see why they're good. By the way, Reds are pretty silent.

Browns are quieter.

Browns are quieter. 

In my experience reds made less noise than my current membrane keyboard, but browns have a bit of noise (about the same level as my current keyboard.)

Another reason why I can see mechanical keyboards as workstation is grade is the macro keys, those can be extremely helpful, but what exactly would be a workstation grade keyboard? Silence or performance or both maybe? Hmmmm
