[cairns84]

As the name suggests I'm looking to into getting a new keyboard and I am looking between these 2 as i don't want to hear loud clicking and neither does the wife lol.

never used a mechanical keyboard before so unsure of what one to go for and was looking for views

thanks in advance

I recently bought a corsair rgb strafe mx silent.
I can honestly say that it's super quiet and it's quieter than my old logitech wave membrane keyboard.

Im very happy with it.

+2 for the strafe.

+1 for the Strafe rgb silent, noticeably quieter than my other mx brown keyboards.

I think the K55 is a membrane keyboard so will be quiet anyway but not mechanical with the robust longevity that brings.

Best

thanks everyone. Next purchase is definitely going to be the strafe MX Silent.
