i feel you, balancing comp gaming and studying is tricky with keyboard noise. the razer blackwidow v4 with yellow switches is wired, fast, and way quieter than greens. tactile but not loud enough to annoy roommates. used mine for valorant and essay writing, no complaints. solid build and synapse lets you save work profiles separately.
I'm using the Razer Blackwidow V4 mechanical keyboard and it's great. It does have a number pad but is also loaded with great features that you'll want for gaming. It's a little pricy but well worth it
i've had mixed results with razer. a blackwidow hyperspeed i got a few years ago broke recently, but a huntsman v2 i've had for over 5 years works well.
i think at least their optical stuff is good.
also, i think there have been a lot of issues with the blackwidow v4, but that supposedly has been resolved
all their mice work perfectly for me with zero issues. i had a blackwidow keyboard from them start double typing, which is apparently a known issue with them.
i had a huntsman v2 mini from them that works perfectly after years of use. i recently got a deathstalker v2 pro tkl that works ok so far too.
i've had two mechanical keyboards fail on me, one razer, one not, neither optical. so i don't know if it's a razer issue or just non-optical mechanical keyboards being unreliable

Competitive gaming king, but typing feel and sound are meh.
