Have you looked into swapping out the switches? It looks like they aren't hot-swappable, but de-soldering switches isn't too difficult and there are a ton of amazing silent switches out right now. Check out Zealios for a great silent tactile switch.
- ianhowson 6y agoI modded my Kinesis Edge with Holtite sockets to get hotswap capability. I use Zilents on my daily driver. They're pretty quiet as far as mech switches go, but still a lot noisier than a standard laptop keyboard. No complaints so far.

- treeman79 6y agoI got the brown switches. They are quiet and mushy and I don’t like them. But they are quit. Also the arrow keys are mushed up with other keys and it’s hard to differentiate
- throwaway34241 6y agoIt's too bad they don't offer them on the Edge, but if RGB lighting isn't essential they have the 'quiet red' switches available on the Freestyle Pro, which is basically the same model without the backlit keys.
