@cleverdevil tell me, are mechanical keyboards not very loud? I want to get one for home, but I fear my constant clicking will irritate the wife...

@nitinkhanna they can be very loud, but it really depends on what kind of switches you opt for, and if you include dampeners. Most good mechanical keyboard outfits will sell you a little tester kit, so you can try out 4-8 different types of switches before you buy!

@nitinkhanna I use Gateron Brown switches in my daily driver, and its in the middle of the quietness spectrum. My wife hates it :D

@cleverdevil a tester kit? Interesting! And what's the general view of mechanical keyboards for gaming?

@nitinkhanna I’m not much of a gamer myself, but there is an entire community of people who are obsessed with mechanical keyboards for gaming.
