Mechanical TKL with silent ish keys

What recommendations do you have?

Can't be too loud as it'll do my head in.

Not many options out there that I can see!

Thanks

Nope. Rubber o-rings? MX Red Silent?

TBH, I haven't seen what would qualify as a 'quiet' mechanical, besides scissor types (i.e. laptop / apple keyboards). and these aren't very good for gaming. Too fragile, Logitech in particular suffer key ghosting, although I like their low actuation and feedback.

Maybe the new low profile mechanicals could introduce some noise reduction.

see for yourself.

Are there any MX Silent TKL keyboards? I can only seem to find full size.

Fnatic miniStreak would use Cherry MX Silent RGB.
FG-KB-5060455782048 should be code for UK model.

Apparently discontinued Logitech G410 was tenkeyless Romer-G keyboard.

Looks spot on, your google fu is stronger than mine!

It wasn't googling.
Geizhals.eu site has pretty good search tools.

What's it like? I've got an eye on picking up the Fnatic miniStreak with silent red switches.

I like it. I have a K65 RGB as well, I'd say that they're pretty similar in terms of performance.

Annoyingly I can't seem to change the software to disable lighting though.
