I am looking for a good silent keyboard for gaming and youtube

[Saidaru]

Hi, I have recently bought a mechanical keyboard (Razer Black Widow) but it is too noisy when I record for YouTube.
So I regret my purchase and I am searching for a good silent keyboard in the same style.
I have just seen this one, but I don't know if it is good? : http://www.coolermaster.com/peripheral/keyboards/masterkeys-lite-l-combo-rgb/
Have you some suggestions?
Thank you in advance

The only way to truly know is to visit stores, look at the display keyboards and type on them. Or borrow keyboards to try and test.

Listen to how much noise is made.

But please be aware that your typing style can make a difference.

If I type hard and fast on my keyboard it can be very noisy.

Does not take much to slow down to a more controlled and quieter manner.

And I find that typing is not so fatiguing or as painful (arthritis) in my fingers.

I know mechanical keyboards are really popular, and within that the Cherry Red/brown Switch (or whatever equivalent in Khalit and whatever) are quietest. (Don't get blue)
But the sound coming from the switch mechanism is only part of it. Finger->key impact also makes sounds, this can be offset by rubber surfaces.
Then there's little rubber o-rings the keyboard comes with or you can add which will reduce the bottoming out sound.

However, membrane keyboards are generally quieter than mechanical ones and within that I"m sure there are those that are especially quiet (microsoft digital media 3000 came out as quiet here).

Something else you may want to think about is your microphone. Do you have a cardoid pickup pattern or an omni directional one? Do you have it suspended off your boom and can you put something between the microphone membrane and the keyboard to block that sound? Or is it behind your keyboard pointed right at it? Microphone type, quality and position will have an impact.
