> Want a mechanical keyboard but don't know where to start?
Not really. I enjoy membrane keyboards and want everything as silent as possible. Yet I want a hackable controller firmware and it seems these are only available with mechanical keyboards.

So do I.

How comes?
Between linear switches, quiet mounting options, and even o-rings if you have a tendency to press keys harder, you can get them to being only slightly louder than a MacBook keyboard (or maybe not louder, just different sounding)
My fashion designer, on the other hand, loves both the tactile feel and clacky sound of Kalih White Box switches.
Loving something doesn't necessarily imply wanting it to persist all the time in all the situations. I love to endure extreme heat for some minutes in a sauna but hardly want to live and work there. I also love tactile feel an clacky sound of some mechanical switches but hearing the clack millions of times per day doesn't sound appealing. And having to apply even a minuscule amount of extra force so many times with finger muscles not designed for this doesn't sound safe.
