The silent keys part were a disappointment, it is way louder than the previous one (had cherry MX silent keys). However, the rest is pretty nice.

Did you try O-rings? They dampen the sound of the keycap hitting the base of the keyboard.

Maybe it won't matter with those switches, but they also helped with the switch actuation of my MX Blues. I noticed some high-pitch sound from the springs, and that also got dampened.
