The Leopold F660C keyboard with Topre Silent 45g switches isn't silent, but it's an obsession killer. If one want custom QMK firmware, get the Hasu aftermarket controller.

I too have a closet full of mechanical keyboards, somehow indulging the obsession while failing to see the point. A Topre switch is so much better, it allowed me to focus on my layout then get back to work.
