+1.

I want an ergonomical keyboard with quiet action. Ideally it would combine the feel of the old Thinkpad keyboards with the ergonomic layout of an ErgoDox keyboard.

Browns and clears are both quiet. You can make them even quieter by adding O-rings to the keycap stems.

Clears are probably my favorite so far. I despise browns. Every key press feels and sounds like two slightly rough pieces of plastic are grinding against each other. I miss the loud keys on the old IBM boards but my coworkers or family would kill me.

I like browns because I can feel the actuation. That bump is an assurance that I can proceed with the next key. And if you bottom out your keys you can always add o rings.

I bottom out like a barbarian. I think it’s fair to say that you type faster than I do if that actuation is a concern.
