So I am looking for a mechanical keyboard that is quiet enough for an office setting. The one I have now is way too loud, even though it was advertised as being quiet. 
Anyone have any recommendations for one that is really quiet?

Wahdyasay? I can't hear you over my own keyboard. I get complaints about it from down the block.

Yeah, my keyboard caused someone to emerge from his office to see what was making all that racket.

My Das 5QS isn't particularly loud. It's mechanical though, so there's that. It's certainly noisier than the more common membrane keyboards.
Can you upgrade or replace your coworkers with a more noise tolerant variety?

Most of the newer ones have options to get a quieter switch type. Back in the day you only had one, but now you have several different switch types.
The one I use is a wired Logitech G513. It's technically a gaming keyboard but doesn't have all that gaming nonsense on it that some gaming keyboards do. It's sturdy. And it uses brown switches, which don't really click loud. I never had any complaints about switch noise in meetings either. Maybe they were being nice though. But, no complaints so far.
Site Note: They say some of the really super duper keyboards that are wireless don't have any lag, but I still go wired because from a lag standpoint nothing beats it. I would suspect that most professionals are fast typers still go with a wire.
Oh, I should say, I work from home. So when I'm typing in meetings it's usually over Zoom, Teams, etc. It may be too loud for an office, but out of the switch types, the brown ones are quieter at least when compared to some.

Thanks for the comments, Jeremy. Do you game? It's the only reason I could imagine for being concerned about latency.

Sometimes, but it's usually on the Switch or PS5. Unless I'm sick I generally only use my computers for coding and/or work.
For me, just when typing in a text editor I could feel the latency with your typical wireless keyboard. Was enough to drive me crazy.

I am a glorified hunt and peck typer. Even the slowest keyboard reacts faster than I can type.
Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

I use a Corsair. It is lit up which I didn't care for originally but I have gotten use to it.
Not sure I would like it if it was too quiet. But doesn't seem loud to me. I think I use the noise at the subconscious level to affirm my typing.
But maybe if your keyboard is too loud then they will give you an office.

I ![Heart | [heart]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/love.gif) my Logitech K120[^]. It's a reliable, no-nonsense, quiet soft travel mechanical keyboard. Before that I used a Dell QuietKey SK-8000[^] for over a decade. It was amazingly reliable but died after I spilled an entire cup of coffee on it.
