Several years ago, I purchased a Unicomp keyboard to address ongoing wrist discomfort. While it effectively alleviated the pain, it introduced another issue that was far more disruptive: the noise level of the keyboard made it difficult for my colleagues to focus when sharing an office with me.
The noise generated by mechanical keyboards is an issue that requires a solution, unless you happen to be working solo from home.

You can buy the switches on their own[0] or buy a keyboard that comes 'silent' out of the box[1] [0] https://www.cherry.co.uk/mx-rgb-silent-red-switch-kit https://www.cherry.co.uk/mx-rgb-silent-red-switch-kit [1] https://www.hhkeyboard.com/uk/products/hybrid-type-s https://www.hhkeyboard.com/uk/products/hybrid-type-s
