Quiet Tenkeyless?

[magnetik]

I'm looking for a quiet tenkeyless to use at work. I don't have much desk space, and my current keyboard is on it's way out. I've gotten used to a desk layout with this keyboard that's less than 12 inches wide. Is there anything similar on the market?

Both are similar in layout, but not quiet like a rubber dome is.

matias quiet pro is very very quiet:

I think the only quieter KB I have is my 30g uniform topre

MX is not quiet unless you purposely not bottom out, something I don't think I can ever master. A Topre TKL or the Topre Leopold FC660C might be a good option if you have the budget.

I agree with both of the above posts: Matias Mini Quiet Pro or Leopold FC660C are both similar layout (although the Leopold doesn't have the F-key row) and also quiet. They each have their own switch feeling. The Matias uses an Alps-like switch, the Leopold uses Topre capacitive switches.

There are also a number of similar layout boards with Cherry MX switches, but the only way to really make those quiet is by modding the switches yourself. Mine (KBT Pure Limited Edition) is quieter than the rubber domes at work, but I've done a lot of work to get it that way (trampoline and latex mods on all switches, drawer liner mounted PCB, thick keycaps).

I have the Filco Majestouch 2 TKL with o-rings and PBT caps (more sturdy, sound lower compared to ABS IMHO). I find my Filco quieter than my HHKB (especially on the upstroke). I purposefully fitted my Filco with o-rings and PBT caps to make it quiet enough to take it to work.
