12 best silent keyboards

Not everyone loves the clatter of keys, especially freelancers and copywriters who need to keep noise levels low for an optimal work environment. To achieve this, you need to resort to the following things:

• put on high-quality headphones;
• get a silent membrane keyboard or mechanical.

Membrane models are the most common and have a relatively low price tag when it comes to options without the bells and whistles. They are also the quietest, and their “scabbard-membrane” variation generally has a short key travel, which is why the pressing is sometimes difficult to catch. Mechanical keyboards are louder, more reliable and therefore more expensive. We have selected for you the top best silent keyboards in different categories.

The best silent keyboards: budget under 2000 rubles.

4 CROWN CMKG-402 Black USB

Not a bad price, nice design, several colors and lighting modes, and most importantly - relative silence and ergonomics. To prevent the keyboard from being erased, it has an anti-gost coating that protects the buttons from premature erasure. The backlighting is uniform and illuminates all the elements, which is why they are visible even in the darkest part of the day.

Of the shortcomings, there is too bright light of "headlights" or stripes on the lower part of the body. They do not carry any functionality and serve only as a design solution. Multimedia keys have become a convenient addition to the main ones. According to customer reviews, the weight of 926 grams is considered insufficient for it, since it is too easy to move it during the gameplay.

3 A4Tech KLS-7MUU Gray USB

Convenient, with a low profile KLS-7MUU Gray is suitable for the office, as it has austere design and relatively low noise for its price segment. When unpacking, you may be surprised, since in addition to the standard USB cable, it has several additional connectors. The culprit behind this "color" variety is the built-in USB hub and headphone and microphone ports.

Buyers in their reviews speak warmly about this model. Note that with a long period of use and lack of care, it begins to make a noticeable noise, so take care of it carefully so as not to wake up your neighbors. Another drawback is the incomplete functioning of some keys on the Windows 7 operating system, for example, the multimedia "Search" key may not work.

2 MARVO K614 Black USB

The delivery set of this silent keyboard can immediately intrigue the buyer with its packaging - not everyone dares to depict the product against the backdrop of the apocalypse. The main advantage of the model can be considered a good tactile response, comparable to the mechanics. At the same time, the noise is minimal, even despite this similarity.

A water drainage system removes spilled water into the space between the keys and the body, so coffee or tea lovers don't need to worry about sticking keys. Inside, the keyboard is tightly packed and clamped with foam inserts. The wire is 1.8 meters long, and the model itself has an aggressive playful design.

1 A4Tech KV-300H

A full-fledged scissor-type wired keyboard from a well-known Chinese manufacturer of peripheral devices also hit the top. The keyboard pleases with the presence of a digital block, a thin body and a built-in USB hub. There is a small gap between the keys - the model is considered an island model, which also gives a plus sign for silent operation. The tactile sensations are good - you know for sure that the key worked even with minimal pressure. The key travel is short and significantly speeds up the typing speed. The clicks are springy, all the buttons are pressed equally well, nothing sinks.

The disadvantage lies in the long keys Shift, Ctrl, Enter, Alt, BackSpace - when you press them, you sometimes hear a slight bounce. All other keys are quiet.Users in their reviews speak about the high-quality application of signatures on the keys, quiet operation and a pleasant case with metal inserts. The keyboard is heavy and therefore suitable for stationary use.

Best silent keyboards: budget up to RUB 5,000

4 Redragon USAS Black USB

The 18-month warranty is a definite plus. So is the silence. There are a variety of lighting modes to suit all tastes. From the decorative, there are metal "handles" with which you can carry the keyboard or just put it on your feet, so that it is convenient. Executed, on the whole, neatly. Keycaps are made of plastic with a matte finish.

The main disadvantage is considered to be a cable without a winding. With prolonged use, a slight backlash is found in the keys. Most of the settings are available without software. Macros can be assigned, but only when the backlight is disabled. Additional keys are not provided. There is a small wrist rest. The basic software includes 3 presets.

3 HP Wireless K5510 Keyboard H4J89AA White USB

White, wireless, silent - many epithets for "b" can be chosen for this model. HP definitely knows a lot about office models, so this beauty is made in a minimalistic style without frills. The keys are moderately slippery and have a short button travel. Separately, we can thank the manufacturer for the distinct clicks.

The lack of light indication is considered a disadvantage, but this is not necessary. May lose signal at a distance of 1.5-2 meters. The digital block does not affect the compactness in any way. No software required to connect. The real color is not white, but beige or, more precisely, pearl.

2 Logitech Multi-Device Keyboard K480

This is a membrane-type Bluetooth keyboard of compact size. The design features a recess for a smartphone or tablet, thanks to which a bundle of devices turns into a laptop. The keys work quite quietly, their travel is short, but you need to press it all the way due to the peculiarities of the membrane design. The keys are round and pleasant to the touch. The positive effect of a vintage typewriter is created. The impression of low-noise operation is spoiled by the creaking body under pressure on it.

In terms of dimensions, the keyboard is similar to counterparts from laptops with a 13-inch monitor. The weight is rather big, this is done so that the structure, together with the overall tablet, does not tip over.

1 COUGAR Vantar

The top 1 in this category is the keyboard with stylish rainbow backlighting and scissor-type keys. Ideal for a desktop computer. The keys are pressed almost silently thanks to the scissor mechanism. The move is also short, nice. The model implements Anti Ghosting technology, which eliminates the problem of bogus clicks. The optimal distance between the keys, protecting the user from frequent typos.

Users in the reviews note the quiet operation of the keyboard even with an aggressive typing technique and rejoice in the beautiful backlighting, but complain about its unevenness and budget. On any surface, the "keyboard" does not slip or creep away, the weight is ideal - not too large in terms of mobility and not too small in terms of stability. A pleasant bonus from the manufacturer - no drivers are needed to work correctly with a computer - everything is stably detected and works from the first moments of connection.

The best silent keyboards: budget up to 15,000 rubles.

4 Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E. 3 Gaming Keyboard Red USB

Silence and 12 programmable keys at once - this is a short list of the advantages of this model. The black and red design is diluted with 16 million colors. A brush stand is present, as is the ability to set macros. The most convenient location of the keys helps to facilitate work both with documents and just during the gameplay.

Presses happen without much effort, do not wear off for a long time. Wrist rests significantly relieve your hands. It does not slide on the table and although its weight is not specified, buyers say that it is difficult to move it. The details fit perfectly. An excellent replacement for branded models.

3 APPLE MAGIC KEYBOARD WITH NUMERIC KEYPAD

A great option for those looking for a bluetooth keyboard. This classic membrane model boasts short key travel, the quietest operation possible, and a non-flabby space bar. The manufacturer took care of the user and included a USB cable in the box - in case the device runs out of power and needs to print right now. The claimed battery life is a month.

The "apple" keyboard uses a scissor type of key fastening. The stroke is only a few millimeters, clear and not loose. The keys work perfectly - there are no freezes, phantom clicks, glitches and lags. No sound is heard, only light natural slaps from touching the keys with your fingers. As buyers write in their reviews, this is ideal, it is ideal for techno maniacs who are tired of looking for a silent device for typing, code, gaming.

2 Razer Cynosa Chroma Black USB

The buyer has access to 2 versions of the model - a regular one and a PRO, the only difference of which is the presence of side illumination. In addition to the buttons themselves, the distance between them is highlighted. The "Chrome" type of illumination provides uniform illumination of all elements. It can change depending on the events that take place.

The F keys are responsible for various settings - game mode, changing the backlight mode, etc. All symbols are laser engraved. Has support for Razer Synapse 3.0. Optimization of the firmware occurs immediately upon the first connection. Reads up to 10 pressed keys simultaneously.

1 HyperX Alloy Elite RGB (Cherry MX Red) Black USB

In the first place of our top in this category, the insanely expensive and large keyboard from HyperX looks like a Corsair. The multimedia buttons are placed separately on the top panel, which, frankly, is superfluous here. The palm rest is also huge, but the possibility of unfastening it pleases. Materials of execution, as usual, are at a height - a metal case into which the switches are screwed.

The materials are practical and hardly get dirty. The wire is very thick, and the keyboard is extremely durable, so breaking both of them will be problematic. Cherry MX keys are easy to handle and rest assured - these are top-notch keys with 2mm actuation distance. The backlight can vary and shimmer with different effects.
