Any way to make keyboard silent?
I play Tekken 7 with a keyboard and since it's a fast game, fast inputs are required. My family say I'm being loud so I was wondering if there's a way to make keyboard quiet?

Should I switch switches and if so which ones? Or is there some sort of attachment for keyboards to make the noise quiet?

My keyboard is a GK61 with optical reds.

Thanks in advance.

err don't think it's possible as it's mechanical spring noise. It's like asking for a quiet mode typewriter.

Just use a cheaper non mechanical keyboard or controller. : D

Dear dude. He's asking how to make his keyboard more quiet. Not how to use a controller, or how to buy another keyboard. I am sure he already knows he can do that.

Agreed. that is his question. I've provided my answer that it is not possible, and suggested alternatives. You have not provide an answer yet. I look forward to seeing yours and learn.

Put a blanket on it.

Anyway, who is Marc? I think there is more to this post than meets the eye, and the keyboard is just a diversion.

Apparently, adding these rings on each keys would help you out to lightly silencing the noise.
There's a comparison in the video but i hear no difference.

Some time ago I had a rubber keyboard, it almost didn't sound and it could even be rolled up (it came in a tubular package in fact), but the sensitivity of the keys was horrible ... Maybe there are others of better quality.

Anything you do to enquieten your keyboard could adversely affect your APM.

A more reliable solution would be to deafen your family members.
