K70 Brown but more silent?

[SnipingBow]

I bought the 70 Brown MX.

I love it.

But I feel like it will be too loud if I bring it to my work?

 

Is there any alternative for the same feel keyboard but with less sound? I will keep my K70 for gaming at home and buy a more silent keyboard for work.

Also do you think that I am overthinking this? Like will people actually complain from the sound of my keyboard if I bring it to work?

Alternatives?

K70 Mk.2 Cherry MX Silent Switch. I wouldn't mind the sound if someone else is using it but if i work in cubicles, i'd actually ask my cube neighbors first.

I don't really know how much is actually expensive as expensive is rather subjective.
Best would be to tell us how much you are willing to spend.

MX Silent has Red's force.

Meaning its very light linear switch without much resistance in early part of travel.

 

I basically reaches Brown's tactile bump force during bottoming:

 

Though Cherry has also Black force curve MX Silent variant, just don't know if any keyboard has it.

Get some O rings

Just grab some O-rings and a key puller, they will make your keyboard quieter
