While I personally do love a mechanical keyboard that offers a hearty clack on every keypress, those I share my living space with aren't quite as into the rhythm of my percussive typing. If you're anything like me, chances are you'd like to cap off a long, hard day of looking at the bad screen by coming home to clack away emphatically at your good screen. However, rents being what they are, chances are that you also have to contend with trying not to wake everyone in a five-metre radius.
Be Quiet's recent move into peripherals ushers in sound-dampened keyboards that attempt to hush your late-night clacking. The Light Mount is the cheaper of Be Quiet's two wired keyboards now on offer, costing $170/£170/€170. For that price, you're getting three layers of sound-dampening foam and silicone cushioning every press, plus per-key RGB illumination, and a fairly firm, magnetically attached wrist rest.
