If you want a sillent keyboard - get him a laptop keyboard! I don't know if there's one out there but I have used laptops and the keyboard is shit(not that much but still) for gaming and it's silent AF...

Here's a review showing how silent it is:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-o5igDJ8lM
P.S It's waterproof which is also nice if you spit your drink on it...
 
Laptop keyboards are crap for gaming
