    Hello!

    I've been searching for the most silent keyboards in existence.

    So far only two results showed up, Deathstalker from Razer and Redragon Karura. From the two, it seems Karura is the most silent keyboard - which makes it the most silent keyboard in the world.

    Anyone knows any better option?

    To be silent is the most important aspect of the keyboard.

    The two keyboards you mentioned are pretty much identical - likely made by the same third-party manufacturer for both companies.

    Any standard rubber dome keyboard that you can buy from your local electronics or office supply store will be pretty quiet.

    If you want to find a silent keyboard, you will want to scour the forums on silentpcreview.com. If you want silent anything related to computers, that is the place to go.

    Just do a search on Google for "silentpcreview keyboard" and you'll get a bunch of results, including a 26-page thread. A treasure trove of good info for you to help make a decision .

    I'm using a low profile rubber keyboard, and it's pretty noisy as it is. Noisy enough to wake people up if they are sleeping in the same room as me :eek:

    This is why I need the absolute most silent keyboard I can get.

    Thank you!

    I'll take a look and return with more details on how it went.
