Im using my first mechanical keyboard and the experience has been great so far but, it is quite loud, especially at night, which cheap mods i can make to make it quieter while i can do something like changing the switches?

    Depends on your board. I had a Redragon K530, here are the list of mods I applied to it in order of price:

    • Put foam on the bottom (the type of foams that come with PC components works great), stuff like this
    • Added O-rings
    • Replaced the switches with Redragon A113 Bullet-QT soft tactile

    I think the switches made the biggest impact, but that’s also the most expensive and it requires your board to be hot swappable.
