Most Silent 80-100% Mechanical KB with volume Knob

Currently own a Roccat VULCAN 121 AIMO KB.

Bought it for looks , the keys are good , but not silent.

Want some silent KB with 80-100%

Since i got used to volume knob , suggest some which has it.

Also willing to assemble with barebones + custom switches.

budget 6-8K , can push a little bit extra.

Also willing to get from classified thread .

What kind of sound are you looking for thock,click or blues? Like not all keyboards are silent. And also bare bones are pretty expensive.

) U could check if any of these are sourceable. That’s also a hard thing to do.

I’ve been using an RK N80 for a few months now. I like the sound, it’s quiet but not silent.

It is low profile though, might not suit everyone but perfect for me. Also has a little screen in the volume knob which is handy sometimes.

I’ve been using this for 16 months now. Is silent and has a volume knob, but the volume knob doesn’t work for me. It worked initially, then stopped. Not sure if it’s a hardware issue or a software issue.

thanks a lot for your suggestion.
I am torn between a thocky and creamy clicky keys.
was looking into some youtube videos for reference. cant fix my mind..
Also would be helpful i get something which i can simply change the keys if i want in the future.

Will look into the kb`s suggested.

The biggest problem with these abcd branded keyboards are their unknown/unspecified latency. Most bother to mention 1000 hz polling part only. And most users think that’s the same as latency. Competitive gamers should pay attention

Possibly i might go with DIY KB. Since it might give me options to changes switches later on.

Now i have to find a good barebone KB with knob and what not.

putting these here for future reference and also for others who want a similar KB

You need any kb that supports hot swappable switches & then change to switches you like. Post here for best possible suggestions for someone in India.

You will likely be suggested Aula F75 along with options for silent switches to replace the stock switches.

My brother is using Aula F75 with Ice Vein switches. It’s thocky 75% keyboard with function and arrow keys but you can replace it with red switches for more silent experience.

Tip: always use YouTube to listen to a particular keyboard+switch sound. It’ll give you an idea what to expect and not to get disappoint in real life.

Keychron V6 Max is up for pre-order on Meckeys, with SBI Cashback CC will be ~9k.

AULA F99 Pro is a cheaper option at 7.5-8k.

Switch: I heard good things about this, can change later on:

Out of stock :frowning:
Will checkout.

guys i want to have a keys which can withstand dusts .. Kahil V2 Box seems to be suggested one . any comments ? they are silent ?

I am more confused. Which path should i take ? Get a barebone KB and get the switches ?

Keychron is not having such a good reputation on/r/mkindia recently so better stick to Aula.

Heard Akko V3 Penguin sound. OMG.. I am planning to get a TKL (probably will add a separate mechanical keypad later - wireless one) with a volume knob , since i am very much got used to roccat keyboard.

Also since i am going to get a akko v3 penguin , i will as well get a barebone kb and build, i dont want to spend extra on stock switches which comes with these keyboard.

Now comes which brand to go for and total estimate i have look into.

Akko Penguin 45 keys is 1400 , so might need x2 - 2800 roughly.

Next i need to find keycaps.. no idea what to get.
