Hey everyone,

I’m currently looking for a full‑size mechanical keyboard (I want the numpad included). My main priorities are:

• Quiet typing (not too loud while working or gaming)
• Budget‑friendly (something that won’t break the bank)
• Versatile enough for both regular use (work/school tasks) and gaming (FPS/MMORPGs)

I know smaller layouts like 60%, 65%, or TKL are popular, but I’d really prefer a full‑size board. I’m wondering:

• Any recommendations for models/brands that fit quiet + budget + full‑size?
• Do you think full‑size is still worth it for gaming, or is it better to go compact?

Would love to hear your experiences before I make a purchase. Thanks in advance!
