Could use some recommendations for a (usually) quick typist. - Lemmy.World

At home I have a Das Keyboard with Cherry MX browns and they feel great. I think this is the quickest I’ve been able to type on any keyboard. I type a lot for my new job and no one cares if I bring in my own keyboard but for my coworkers sake, I don’t think I want to bring in browns. I’m a heavy typer and frankly I’m loud on browns. I searched for quieter keys and found Cherry MX Red Silents but after typing on it a few days at work, I’m making way more mistakes, I’m typing slower, and my hands are more fatigued. That’s when I learned about linear vs tactile… I think tactile is what I need. So with that, I’m looking for: Need: - Tactile - Light switches (should take much force to activate? idk. Browns are good for me, for reference) - Quiet - 100% layout Want: - Switches I can put the Draula keycaps on that my friend bought me. I just know they fit fine on Cherry MX Browns and Red Silent. Nice to have: - Hot swappable PCB Open to other info I’m not thinking about.

For switches:

Durock Shrimp or Gazzew U4 switches for slightly on the premium side. If you feel .65 per switch is a bit much, I highly recommend Haimu Whisper (.30 cents per) or Wuque WS silents - not as thocky as Shrimp or U4 but more comfortable to type on, imo.
