Hi, how's it going? I was looking up mechanical keyboards and people saying they feel so much better to use (my membrane doesn't feel to bad at all so it really intrigues me how something could be better, I've never tried mechanical keyboards before)

And alongside that, I wonder if a mechanical keyboard can be as quiet/quieter than a regular membrane keyboard, I don't wanna bother the humans around me with loud af clicky noises.

Some people do love membrane keyboards, and I won't shame them even if I should. It's fine if it suits you.

As for the noise, I'm pretty sure that mechanical are always a bit louder than regular keyboards. Some types of "springs" can be quiet, but never as quiet as your own current keyboard.
