Quote from Reiss :
The switches are hot swappable so you can always put your own switches in this keyboard after with no problem. I bought the version when it was on sale with the silver switches and put a few brown switches in where I wanted them. Also changed out the keycaps. A great keyboard for the price with this kind of customizability honestly. Keycaps and key switches can be bought fairly cheaply if you look around and $40 is a great starting point for anyone trying to get a full sized mechanical keyboard. The only complaint I have about this keyboard is the huge logo. That's just the aesthetics of it but other than that, it's a great and cheap keyboard
I painted the logo black and it looks good now

Anyone … What's a good but "inexpensive" tkl keyboard with "silent" keys, not just the switches, but when the key hits base it doesn't echo the whole frame.

What you're looking for is something that's desirable for keyboard enthusiasts. There are companies like Stupid Fish that make custom lasercut foam that you can insert into the specific keyboard's internals to dampen the noise.

This is something that a keyboard forum or subreddit might be better able to help, because I bought a keyboard that I'll need to add foam to (as the board hit all the other right notes for me).

Quote from LavenderPickle7682 :
These switches, as mentioned earlier, are a very unusual variant where they "register" a keypress before the tactile bump happens. This isn't normal -- and although it's what some people like, it's not what most people expect.

I would say look into Keychron's C1 or C2 models -- Amazon sells them for less than Keychron's own website (when you factor in their shipping).

Why Keychon? They're very inexpensive for a wired TKL (tenkeyless) or Full size keyboard, give very solid quality at that price point, with several options (keyboard size, no backlight/white/color, switches, wired or wireless, etc -- stuff that might be several hundred with others is sub hundred with them)

They have three "flavors" of switches -- red (no bump, super smooth), brown (tactile bump), and blue (clickity clackity noisy actuation).

Personally, I think browns are a friendly entry into mech keyboards -- you get a tactile bump but you don't get the excessive noise of a clicky blue. I tend to rest my fingers on the keyboard, so red switches tend to actuate a bit sooner/easier than I'd like.

Don't worry about it too much. There's no "best" or "perfect". There are about a bajillion different switches -- different keyboard layouts -- keycap profiles -- keycap textures -- stems and casings -- lubing the switches -- stabilizers for larger keys -- and so on and on. It's a real money sink, and honestly, it all comes down to your preferences. What I love to use might be painfully unusable to the next person.
This.

I have the silver keys and it "registers" the click WAY sooner than I thought. In layman's terms, these keys are extremely sensitive and if you reset your fingers on your wasd keys, be prepared for a few unexpected clicks until you get used to them.

That being said, even my silver keys are too clicky to use for typing work (outside of gaming)

No, the Z15 doesn't have USB pass-through.
Dang, so they have the processor only for whatever 4Hz they claim that is for. That su - cks. Besides, the EVGA logo in the middle is a big turn-off for me. I think a lot of people will still buy this but for me, it's just another keyboard and there is nothing attention-drawing. Razer makes solid gaming keyboards IMO. The price should be around $30 from what they are offering of this keyboard.

Would this be a good keyboard for everyday email and internet browsing/searching? I'm not liking the regular cheapo membrane keyboards. I'm hoping to try a different keyboard, but really have no clue about gaming keyboards.

It will be fine for emails. It is the clicky version of this key set so it will be the loudest switch out of the bunch. I bought a mechanical blue to annoy my coworkers lol.

How does this compare to this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NLZU...QBXKC4DYDF

Looking to buy mainly for colors and effects for my 7 year old
This (the EVGA) is objectively a "better" keyboard, but I personally wouldn't start a younger child off with it due to the type of switches. I've had good luck with Redragon products. Some of their bundles also throw in a very nice mouse pad. If you need a keyboard and mouse, given your kid is 7, I wouldn't feel bad about going with Redragon.

Thank you! Love your response. Sounds like something a fellow Seattle-ite would say haha

My amazon basics kb is pretty loud as it is, so I don't mind a loud keyboard. Used to it.

I bought a e-yoosoo brand with red switches and the switches are silent but the key presses still are noisy. Led backlit is desired, rgb is not necessary.
Inexpensive solution is to put O-rings on your switches. Even with quiet switches if you are a heavy typer you will still hear the switch bottoming out or the keycap hitting at bottom. Pull off your keycaps and put on little rubber o-rings, and now it doesn't go all the way down. Look up videos for how to do it. Another option is there are now "silent" variants of certain switches, like Cherry MX Silent Red. Basically doing the same job as the o-ring, but now they are making switches where part of the shaft of the switch has a little rubber piece at the top and bottom, making it quiet as it bottoms out and then also soft as you let go of the key and it rebounds to the top. So o-rings cheap solution, buying silent switches or a board that already has them, more involved solution. I know there are Cherry brand silent switches and also Kailh brand. Some other brands use the name silent but are not actually refering to having the rubber pieces for sound dampening, just claiming to have a silent switch.

I'm probably alone but the X17 and X20 mice look pretty damn cool to me. Reviews didn't look that good though... anybody own one of them?

I've had this keyboard for a couple weeks now and I really like it. Even if you aren't sure you will like these switches and keycaps included, this is great base board that is fully standard and customizable in the future. I put 4 kailh silver switches (8 included in box) on my arrow keys for smooth movement and replaced the keycaps with PBT pudding keycaps. The build quality and software has been working great for me. In the future I may try new switches, the bronze have good sound but they are very lightweight and can be accidentally pressed sometimes.

A huge pro to me is that the EVGA software does not need to stay running unlike Logitech. The settings you apply are saved to the board itself and can be controlled without the software running.
