Thanks for the comments, Paul.
I prefer full height keyboards to the half height design. The half height design makes me feel like I'm typing on a laptop keyboard, which I hate.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I have a Corsair K95 RGB Platinum keyboard and I love it. It wasn't that loud to begin with, but I installed dampers on it anyway. It has the macro keys and MX speed switches. If you practice, you can type rapidly by barely touching the keys.
Even with the dampers, the keyboard is "loud" when you bottom out on the keys. By loud, I mean still softer than heavy tactile keyboards. The K95 is one of the best keyboards I've ever had, and I've owned a lot of them. The Corsair keyboards are the best in my opinion. Make sure the keys are MX speed, red or brown switches.
You can still buy the K95 on Ebay for around $80. On Amazon, they're almost $200 new.

I would add to Paul Mauriks reply that the case makes a big difference.
My personal home keyboard is a Keychron Q3[^] that I bought bare bones and then bought the switches and keycaps (EN UK) that I wanted. Heavy aluminium frame. It's great, couldn't be happier. It's an 80% layout that means my right hand isn't forced so far to the right and is much more comfortable to use than a full size. Nice typing feel without much noise. It doesn't have a numpad but I don't need that for home use.
At the same time I bought a Keychron K4[^] that I have fitted with French keycaps (I work in French). It's a good chassis but it's plastic and the sound difference is huge without improving the quality of the typing feel. It's a 96% layout so it has a numpad but everything is a compressed into a smaller space (takes a little bit of getting used to) which means I have all the keys of a full size keyboard without my right hand being forced way over to the right of my desk.

I replaced all my keyboards with these CHERRY STREAM KEYBOARD[^].
Very silent, very flat and heavy, they don´t slide around when typing as some of the others do.

Look at https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/[^]
They have everything under the sun and their products are very good. Get the Cherry MX Silent Red Switches and you will have the feel of mechanical but very little noise.

HP Wireless Elite. The keyboard is quiet and has a feel I like.
But don't get the companion mouse, it's button clicks are loud enough to wake my wife in the next room.

Logitech makes a line of wireless keyboards that have a nice touch and are very quiet. Currently I'm using a MX KEYS unit and I love it.

Always excited to see a John Prine YouTube video
Google is blocking Firefox from playing YouTube videos
so the process of looking at a CP post that links to YouTube is a real pain
on top of that I wrote a small VB.Net app that links to various YouTube channels
it stopped working so I now have added this to the code
Process.Start("Chrome.exe", webPAGE)
Surprised this has not resulted in a lawsuit the new SOP in today's world

Yeah YouTube is getting dicey unless you turn off AdBlock and I am want to do.
I ditched Chome because they started not allowing YouTube to show at all with AdBlock so I switched back to FF.
