I am on a Royal Kludge as well!
Definitely not quiet, but damn if it isn't a joy to type in it.

Glad to meet a fellow Royal ๐. Also, what are the switches you went for? Brown for me.

Same! I like that it doesn't make the click sound and still give me the proper keystroke feedback :)

always online:this is mainly a problem of switches. get a keyboard formfactor you like with a good body and replacable switches. thatll be the only keyboard you need for the rest of your life. if you want to change things up, buy new switches and caps.
i personally use Outemu Silent Lime V3 Silent Tactile switches from aliexpress, and highly recommend them as they are cheap, feel awesome and are very quiet

always online:I really enjoy low-profile keyboards for this very reason. Depending on your system of course, but the most silent keyboard I've used (and still use) is the Mac Magic Keyboard. But most low profile ones are in my experience pretty quiet.

Started with vim but felt limited, especially when doing heavy Julia visualisation work. Now in emacs and it's been smooth-sailing. Also, emacs + typst is amazing.
