I’m looking to upgrade soon and thought I might finally try a mechanical keyboard. I’d prefer to not disturb those around me, and I value being able to move my keyboard around freely.

I previously used Logitech and I like their software, and specifically the ability to switch devices was really nice for swapping work to home device. That’s what I started exploring with, but I don’t think I can swap around parts if I go with the MX MECHANICAL. On the other hand, maybe that’s a good thing, since I always hear the line about this being an expensive rabbit hole. If I’m stuck, then maybe I won’t go exploring…

I’ve seen other cool things I liked (numpads, backlights, knobs for volume, subtle dark colors, USB-c), but I’m open to exploring. Wireless + quiet are the only important requirements

      Second this, I’ve built myself a silent office k7. It has low profile optical switches (less travel more silent), and bought a pack of their mint switches. They have higher resistance so that should help with the noise, I also lubed them. Coworkers don’t even know that I have mechanical board.
