Hello, everyone !
I need you help in choosing a replacement for my current mechanical keyboard. At this moment I own a Red Dragon Varuna keyboard , with outemu blue switches and it's fantastic regarding the feedback, the RGB options, speed, looks, build quality, macro capability ( all keys are reprogrammable ). However, it does fell short on something, the sound , obviously ; this thing is monstrously loud and yes, I am aware that mechanical keyboards tend to be louder then membrane ones, but this one is way over the roof. I am just an occasional gamer, spending 1-2 hours / day, maybe and a little more in weekends, but most of my gameplay sessions are taking place at midnight, because, you know, job and family .
On one occasion, the neighbor bellow me ( I live in an apartments block) , knocked on my door at 1 in the morning complaining that he cannot sleep due to my keyboard...and honestly, I cannot blame him, this thing is loud ; for now, the only way to tackle it, is to use a standard membrane keyboard after 10:00, so I won't disturb anyone, but really, I miss my mechanical keys a lot; I am also thinking to buy some o-rings, maybe that will cut off some of the sound, but still I doubt it will make a huge difference .
I am also taking into account buying a new mechanical keyboard, but is very hard to decide which one; my priorities are, in order: sound, rgb, macro capabilities. I took note of the Corsair Strafe model with silent switches and I was wondering if it's indeed the best option for me; also, i notice some other keyboards, using mathias , romer-g switches and some claim that they very silent...What do you think about it ?
Thank you in advance !
