You probably want something like this: https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3526 but it's OOS and beyond your budget. Anyway, I have experience in this regard. MX Browns are NOT silent, and they aren't quiet either. Check a typing test on Youtube. MX Browns, like most other mechanical switches, is plastic moving parts hitting plastic, on a metal plate that pings. So they are fairly loud. Louder than many office rubber-domes. All that generic material on the internet about "Reds for gaming, Blues for loud typing, Browns a quieter intermediate" are BS. Most of these switches are loud as hell and unsuitable for an office, unless they are a "silent switch." Switch type is key. The only common generic silent switches are Silent Red and Silent Black. They are honestly your best bet in a generic pre-built. The best pre-built keyboard for you is probably a Leopold FC900R PD or 750R PD with Silent Reds. It would be ready-to-go out-of-box and not as loud as the other choices. Since you are in Canada, you can also just build a silent keyboard yourself with parts from AliExpress. On a real lean budget [$100 CAD], you could buy a Tester68 [$39 CAD shipped] which is a 65% keyboard that connects wirelessly via a USB dongle. It already has some dampening, so it works fairly well with silent switches. Then, buy 70 OUTEMU Silent Lemon switches for like $30 CAD. You can lube the springs if you want, I hear that's enough. Then, buy the cheapest PBT keycaps you can find on AliExpress. During a sale, I once got a full set of PBT Camping keycaps for $33 CAD, and I know there are similar deals. There are some ugly but functional PBT doubleshot keycaps [Sky Dolch colour] that you can get for about $25 CAD. So there you go: Total budget: $103 CAD, including shipping and taxes. A wireless 65% fully-equipped quiet board. If the Tester68 is not to your liking, wait for one of those monthly AliExpress sales, and you can get a white or smoky transparent MK870 from KPRepublic or Kailh or some other store shipped to you for $65 CAD. The MK870 is a cool TKL that has more features than the Tester68, and is wired. Comes with good stabilizers that are pre-lubed. You'll have to buy 90 switches instead of 70, so that's like $35 CAD for the Silent Lemons. So this would bring the cost up to $130 CAD. But you can often find silent switches for cheaper on MechMarket, especially if they're lightly used. And if you're using a standard TKL, you can buy people's used Leopold keycaps for cheap, and they'll fit any ANSI board. Answer from HungerMechanic on reddit.com
