Second this, I’ve built myself a silent office k7. It has low profile optical switches (less travel more silent), and bought a pack of their mint switches. They have higher resistance so that should help with the noise, I also lubed them. Coworkers don’t even know that I have mechanical board.
that would be perfect, maybe a vehicle with scanner and some mining tool so you could analyse and collect few minerals along the way. would be great QOL improvement.
