If you want to stick with mechanical keyboards, then you'll want to stick with linear switches, especially silent focused linear switches, and get keyboards with a lot of foam damping. You may also want to get a desk pad because a significant amount of noise from mechanical keyboards is actually the sound reverberating through your desk. NuPhy Air75 / Air96 with red or aloe switches, or Keychron K series with red switches for example are reasonably quiet and around the same price as the G413. Both are low profile mechanical keyboards, which doesn't mean they'll be as low profile as a laptop keyboard, but just lower profile than your average mechanical keyboard. NuPhy also have the Blush switches that are exceptionally quiet. There's also the Chilkey ND104 which with the linear switch option and not using the faux metal caps, is almost entirely silent. But it's also over $200.

I'm going to mess both of you up even more and say if you want something low profile don't look into lofree, instead look into NuPhy, specifically the NuPhy Air 75 (V3 for mechanical ; HE for magnetic), or the new NuPhy Node 75. I have the NuPhy Air 75HE as my primary gaming keyboard and I'm ordering the Node 75 for a general multi purpose keyboard. I'm a huge fan of NuPhy, especially their IO is damn near perfect.

I'm surprised IQUNIX don't offer any *low profile* hall effect switch options. They offer their own in-house X Ultra magnetic switches and also the Gateron Jade Pro switches. The NuPhy Air 75HE uses the low profile version of the Gateron Jade Pro switches. I personally love the Gateron Jade Pro switches, combined with the low profile nSA keycaps, it's been a game changer.

I recently switched from using mechanical to magnetic / hall effect for the first time earlier this year with the NuPhy Air 75HE and it's been a big enough game changer for me that I would recommend for others who are interested in keyboard customization or having a slightly better competitive edge with gameplay. The biggest differences are the customizations with the triggers, you can set and adjust actuation points, rapid trigger, dynamic keystone, etc. I primarily play Fortnite with a ton of keybinds and other 3rd person / first person shooters and I have definitely noticed a difference in my movement and ultra low latency. It's obv not going to make you a better player, but if you are asking about it I would suggest it.

First question to ask is if you want hall effect or not. Standard mechanical switches are what you are used to, but in recent years many gaming keyboards have begun using magnetic switches with analog input. This allows for features like rapid trigger or dynamic keystroke. If you want those extra features, then there are a litany of cheap keyboards out there that have them. However, the software for them is not always great. If you want the best software experience, then get a wooting keyboard. Their software really is the best. I've tried a few others from cheap brands and go back to the wooting for the software. But wooting is super pricey. The best I've found that is nearly as good as the wooting with easy to use, nice looking software is nuphy. The only thing wooting beats them with is the ability to map a controller joystick to wasd, which is nice for racing games. But, nuphy claims to be working on this feature right now. And when they do have it, I'll say it's better than my wooting. The air75 he is also the only low profile magnetic keyboard if you want that. Otherwise, the field75 he is a direct competitor to the wooting 80he for a cheaper price with additional macro keys if you find those useful, since your k95 had them as well.

I just got a Nuphy Air75 HE and it’s pretty dope. It’s low profile though which I love and it’s why I got it in particular but a lot of people prefer standard profile. It also limits your key cap choices

I went all out earlier in the year and tried a bunch of low profile keyboards. Nuphy air75 he / Keychron K3 / Nuphy air75 v2 / Keychron B1 / Logitech MX mechanical / Logitech MX / If you want to buy a keyboard that will last you the next 5+ I would spend the $$ on the Nuphy HE or the Kechron K3, specially if you are going to use it for gaming. Otherwise the best cheap is the Keychron B1. I kept the Nuphy He, because I loved the magnetic keys, and the Keychron B1 because I can take it anywhere. My advice is that if you are going to be moving around with any of these, you must buy a keyboard case. Non of them felt like they would withstand a drop. Note: I did not try the lofee because it was the only one that required me to pay shipping fees if I returned it, so I didn’t take my chance. But I have seen great reviews.
