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?

    Deskmat under the keyboard

    Tape and/or foam mods in the case (will change the pitch of the sound, which might disturb less)

    O-rings, but these will change how they keyboard feels. I didn’t like them

    Foam inserts for keycaps - like o-rings but foam. never tried them

    Lubricating the stabilizers - should mitigate some space and enter key rattle

    If your keyboard supports hotswap, new switches are a more expensive option.

    Edit: The person who invented markdown WYSIWYG text editors is on my shit list
