After realizing I was an idiot for getting a second cherry mx blue board in the DS5 (and having a spacebar issue), I am looking at other possible cherry mx red boards as I am moving in with a roommate soon and also want a different typing experience. As of right now I am looking to get the Leopold FC900 with PBT caps, per suggestion of a member on this forum. I was just hoping I could get a couple other suggestions before I make a final decision, cause I don't want to deal with returning another keyboard anytime soon.
Any and all suggestions are really appreciated.
Edit: Just wanted to apologize for the multiple threads in the forums. I am just trying to make the right decision with the help of more experienced people. :)

Cherry mx red is just as loud as mx blue in a quiet room.. This is because of the rebound noise, which can not be dampened.

My MX red board isn't loud at all, of course the FC900R comes with a dampened case so maybe that helps.
Blues were so loud the guy in the next office over complained.

I understand that they are still loud but they are definitely a little quieter. Some o-rings might help too. Besides that I just want a new typing experience given that I have been using blues for the past 3-4 years. I tried my friends Ducky Shine 4 a week ago and at first I wasn't a huge fan, but the more I was typing on it the more I liked it. I def liked it a lot more for games as it was easier to spam buttons and such, however I do think the typing aspect will take me a bit of getting used to (I was having a ton of typos).
