CHERRY MX Board 1.0: Keyboard with MX switches and HighSpeed keyrecognition
CHERRY introduces the MX Board 1.0, a mechanical keyboard at a more interesting price point. The combination of high-precision CHERRY MX switches in different variants and high-performance HighSpeed key recognition creates an uncompromising keyboard for avid writers.
Furthermore, The MX Board 1.0 features abrasion-resistant keycaps, anti-ghosting, and full N-key rollover.
CHERRY MX switches for highest input quality
With the MX Board 1.0, CHERRY offers a high-quality keyboard with its precise MX switches. This ensures a pleasant typing experience and reliable input over an extremely long period of time. Each switch is guaranteed for over 50 million operations without loss of input quality.
Maximum performance with HS technology
CHERRY has also integrated HighSpeed key recognition, which allows for an ultra-fast conversion of input thanks to a special digital controller. This allows the MX Board 1.0 to achieve maximum performance without compromises.
Anti-ghosting and full N-key rollover
The MX Board 1.0 is a high-quality mechanical keyboard featuring full N-key rollover and 100 percent reliable anti-ghosting. These two technologies guarantee an absolutely flawless recognition of keystrokes at any time, even when many keys are pressed simultaneously.
Backlight and abrasion-resistant keycaps
CHERRY has implemented a white, dimmable backlight with several lighting modes. The keycaps have been designed for a uniform illumination of the keyboard. A protective layer of finish on the caps ensures a high abrasion-resistance.
Adjustable height and illuminated USB plug
For a non-slip grip on the desk, the feet of the MX Board 1.0 can be height-adjusted in three steps. CHERRY has also integrated an illuminated USB plug and the keyboard features a detachable palm rest and elegant logo application.
The CHERRY MX Board 1.0 is available with MX Silent Red or MX Brown switches at a suggested retail price of €90 / £80.

Any mechanical keyboard can be silenced with some modding.
If you want a decent out of the box experience, search for cherry mx Silent switches.
How silent are the red switches? The bigest reason i stay on membrane keyboards is the soun mechanical switches do , if the red switches are quiet enough i might start looking for one!

Not silent at all, the one downside to mechy keys and switches are the clickety-clackety noises. The MX silent switches do really help with this, and MX Silent red does have the same actuation force as MX red. So I would recommend that very much if you are looking for a mechy and like low acoustics.

Well, not all membrane keyboards are bad, there are plenty of examples of high-quality membranes - Topre is an extra. While it's a hybrid, it still is a great switch which uses both mechanical parts and membrane parts.
In reality, do some research, any keyboard can be modified to your liking. Don't go for fancy junk. Aim for something with PS2 - Example - Leopold keyboards. Can't go wrong with that. Mod it and you have a solid product that will last for years.
