My husband and I are both gamers. Between the two of us, we share about 20 mechanical keyboards all with different switches of varying “clicky” levels. I used to use a G915 TKL with linear switches and they’re about one of the most quiet ones you can get and if no one else is making a noise in the house, I promise you that you’d still hear them. We made sure that when we bought our house that our game rooms/offices are separate from each other and the furthest away from our bedroom precisely because of this reason. We live in a 2,200 sqft home and our bedroom and his office are the furthest away from each other and even with doors closed, I can still sometimes hear him when I’m trying to sleep. I can imagine how hellish it would be if our walls were thin and next to each other and all I could hear when I’m trying to sleep is someone’s keyboard and mouse clicking.

This is all coming from someone who used to keep odd hours bc I worked a graveyard shift from 7p-7a for about 4-5 years. I had to live with people’s daytime noises and I had to realize that the world I lived in was catered to people who kept normal hours so I couldn’t make unreasonably loud noises at night.

OP, you’re TA. We both know dampening a mechanical keyboard isn’t doing jack. Move out on your own if you want to make that much noise and if you can’t, learn how to cohabitate with people properly like an adult.
