There are literally dozens of good compromises available nowadays compared to a decade ago, where high-end keyboards were just a niche.

Here's a comment from a couple of months ago that pointed out a silent mechanical keyboard. Despite my exclamation I haven't picked one up yet.

However, they are very nice to type on, and Matias is supposedly producing a new version of the switch.
