Hi guys,

Currently I use a black widow chroma but it's so god damn loud. I am looking at others and wondering if you had any Mechanical recommendations that don't try to break the decibel meters.

Mainly looking at the Logitech G810

Any input or personal preference would be appreciated.

That Razer uses Chinese copy of Cherry MX Retro alias Blue, switch type which comes even with additional extra mechanical typewriter sound effect...
So about any other switch is some amount quieter.
But with lot more moving parts in "mechanical" switches getting good amount quieter isn't that easy.

That Omron made Romer-G of Logitech definitely has quite good sound signature.
Though if you press keys lot for hard bottom hit that always causes some sound.
But in Cherry MX also letting keycap rise fast to up position causes good part of sound.
As for feel Romer-G is nearly linear switch like Cherry MX Red.
Creative's Vanguard K08 uses same Omron switches.

From older switches "hybrid" type Topre has very smooth sound, but don't know if they're available much.
