OK, that is good news regarding the switches. I was just typing on OUTEMU Silent Lemon / Lime yesterday, vs. some others, and posted my thoughts:
It is a little cheaper to purchase full sets during big sales. I noticed that there is an upcoming AliExpress sale in a few days, although that may be too early for you.
I don’t have the detailed knowledge about the keyboards to know which has more / better dampening. Somebody might.
When I looked into the Keychron V / Q-series, I thought about purchasing replacement stabilizers. Just in-case.
I find that Zeal stabilizers are pretty quiet, but may not be as easy to set up as some more popular models [Durock, C3, TX]:
Outside of Canada, maybe the TX AP are generally regarded as the best, right now?
What you want are PCB-mount [screw-in] stabilizers. They tend to be quieter than plate-mount [clip-in] stabilizers.
Some of the keyboard kits come with stabilizers, yet they are plate-mount. You will want to use PCB-mount. I believe the Keychron V and Q-series, for example, are compatible with PCB-mount. I am not sure about the quality of the in-built stabilizers.
Keychron’s are probably decent enough, you just need to lube etc…
But if you are really a stickler, you could go for aftermarket.
Cycle7 comes with C3 V3 stabilizers, I think, which are actually pretty decent. Better than most ‘factory’ stabilizers, in any case.
