Hi,

I was hoping to get some suggestions for a quiet keyboard. Ideally I would like it to be backlit. Any help would be much appreciated as currently my space bar is sounding like a snare drum :)
 
Hmmm As much as I would love a mechanical I had ruled them out because I assumed they would be too noisy. Do the o-rings make a big difference?

At the moment I'm just using a bog standard microsoft keyboard and hoping it will be quieter than that.
 
For what it's worth I've just got a cherry red (Corsair K60) and it's not what I expected it to be - much better. It's a little noisier than my other keyboards - but not massively so. I think I've got some I would expect the noise would soften a little bit with some O rings, I'm going to try some out.
 
The o rings gave an appreciable reduction in the amount of noise the keyboard makes.
Tbh I am an old git who remembers the old days when all keyboards were mechanical.
I didn't think the newer mech keyboards where as noisy as the old, and adding the o rings brings them close to the noise level of a modern membrane type.
