If you're not a fan of those loud clicky mechanical keyboards, then you should totally go for the yellow switch! I wouldn't say it is as quite as a membrane keyboard, but if you love how a mechanical one feels but would like it to not be as loud- this keyboard is definitely it. One thing to watch out for is how sensitive the keys are! You can be misfiring a lot during your first few use, but I find it easy to get used to over uses. The keyboard comes with a wrist rest, but I honestly don't use it at all- sucks that it's not magnetic so that it could stay in place. Overall, very much enjoying the keyboard so far!
