I am using two mechanical keyboards... one at home and one for office. Got these from shopee.

Then i get nice xda ball-shaped keycaps and swap the stock ones... nice to type. I prefer using low actuation force with linear switches for fast typing.

the switches that come with it is not silent, but the keyboard switches are hot swappable, so you can change the switches to your liking

keychron, anne pro..... Do a few Google searches u can find some popular ones

If u want get very in depth, jin sexpensive/ costly... Can customise own switch, lube, keycaps, etc.

heck even make keyboard yourselfs

But moi think mainly most is just
Red, brown, blue switches rah

Cherry MX and some china knock offs, some hot swappable.... Can watch yt beedio learn also

Moi not berry into keyboard, only watch or research when moi want to buy

Actually, I can afford to get a mechanical keyboard, except I have to do work in the same room while my kids sleep. So... A quiet keyboard made more practical sense than a mechanical keyboard... After all, how many of us type so much?

Incidentally, there are quiet mechanical keyboard in case you interested in their tactile feel but dreaded their noise.

Btw, I have an antique Compaq mechanical keyboard that uses PS2 interface... Not sure anyone interested to buy from me. It's a tad yellowish buy super heavy.

interesting to see you still have the compaq keyboard, i thought in the old day the IBM keyboard was the best, feel really solid

 

[TUV2008]

for moi ish

yes, this is the best one i remember, PS/2 day.... very solid and heavy keyboard and solid mechanical feel
