Quiet + Compact Keyboard to replace Razer Blackwidow

[LOUISSSSS]

So I have a perfectly working Razer Blackwidow from a couple years ago. Its a little bit, and its very loud. I now need to downsize to a smaller desk, and also will have someone sleeping next to my desk and need to keep it down. Not just during gaming, but even typing 1 word is loud on the black widow.

I'm looking for a new Quiet and Smaller (not as impt) keyboard under $60 (on sale) I play CSGO pretty competitively too.

Is the Razer Blackwidow Lite (Razer Orange Keys) good for gaming + Forum responses lol? Also which is it very quiet that it won't wake a light sleeper next to it?

Silent Mechanical Keyboard - Razer BlackWidow Lite

The silent mechanical keyboard designed for daily use, featuring silent yet tactile keys, LED backlighting, and compact form factor.

Would that be better than the Corsair K63 or Logitech GPro?

The orange are tactile switches so they do have a different feel than their green clicky switches. Generally, you'll be slamming the key all the way down coming from a 'clicky' switch, and that can fatigue your hands. Unless that's the way you're doing it now, then your hands will feel relieved from not having to push past the 'click'. And if so, you may want to look into their yellow switches that are fully linear.

The Corsair K63 uses Cherry reds which are like the yellows--fully linear. Coming from a clicky switch you will most definitely only stop pressing the key when it stops moving. Again, this may be good or bad depending on how you type.

The Logitech GPro is an interesting board. I hadn't heard about it before and was assuming it would be using their g-romer switches. But instead it seems like Logitech is using Kalih Cherry equivalents in their GPro line.

Even though a switch is quiet, the overall sound of a linear switch hitting the plate it's mounted to can be more noisy than a clicking switch. To be honest, the cheapest way to solve this is to simply pull out a cheap rubber dome keyboard when you have to type while someone is sleeping and keep the good stuff for when you're able to work like normal.
