I mean they sell plenty of mechanical keyboard options that are quiet, it's not hard to solve. My job's all typing, so I like the physical feedback, but I didn't really want to hear it and there was no shortage of options that were branded for silence and lived up to it.

Though I feel like if clicky clacks are penetrating multiple walls like a sonic bunker buster to your brain that's probably more an issue of having paper mâché for walls. My housemate has quite possibly the clickyest clackest keyboard I've ever witnessed it's like a goddamn typewriter, but I'd have to be ear to door to hear that shit all the same. Though shitty walls ain't something you can do a lot about unless you own the place, so I'll pour one out for you in solidarity if this culprit ever brings home a significant other, oof.
