If you like tactile switches, NiZ switches are pretty quiet. They kind of sound like... Boiling water when typing on it. Technically rubber dome (capacitive non contact) they're Korean Topre clones but come factory lubed so quieter. I picked one up on creagslst for $40 actually which is sooo sweet esp because they're hard to find in stock sometimes. I hear the Gamakay TK75 with their pegasus switch is pretty nice and super quiet if you just want a prebuilt and don't want to mess with switches.

As someone with way too many keyboards, I would recommend this. If you like clicky switches, box whites are awesome (just know they're fairly easy to press). They're actually my favorite switch as of right now. Overall, this seems like a great package for $100 honestly. Unless there happen to be unforseen issues with it (unlikely), I think this will be a great board.

I placed my order on August 1, 2023 and haven't received it yet.

Furthermore, I have got an email from amazon today with the New estimated delivery date of October 11, 2023.
Looks like pre-ordering the keyboard didn't work well for me
