The Prime 13 Mark II Backlit Keyboard by Das Keyboard , available here with silent red key switches, is a minimalist professional full-sized keyboard.

Control media playback with the multimedia keys. Silent keys make typing discreet and noiseless. Windows, ChromeOS, and Linux operating systems are supported. An aluminum top plate is a durable surface for work and play.
The choice between membrane, low-profile, and mechanical switches determines typing feel and noise. Consider ergonomics and layout sizes (full-size vs tenkeyless) based on desk space and numpad reliance. Available from $179.
Keyboards are passive peripherals with almost zero cost of ownership. Wireless models may require occasional battery replacements, but energy costs are negligible.
