Silent Holy Panda X?
I ordered some Holy Panda X switches, and I fell in love with them. They are a joy to type on. There's just one problem. The place that I use my keyboard to type the most is obviously at work, which is a problem if I want to use the Holy Panda X in the office around a whole bunch of people. I really don't want to torture my coworkers with the clack of these switches. I'd rather they still liked me. The good news is that, for me, the actuation of the Holy Panda X is the best part. I could take or leave the sound it makes; even if it is fantastic. Which leads me to my conundrum: is there another "silent" switch that feels similar to the Holy Panda X? Is there a piece I can remove from the Holy Panda X that would allow me to make them silent? Or am I going to have to wait and see if Drop will drop a Silent Holy Panda X for the in-office mech community?

It’s a concise and comprehensive overview with links to some great sites that go deeper. He also has a separate Links about keyboards page. The Keyboard layouts doc he recommends explains layout goals and metrics in detail, summarizing the alt layouts discussed here as well as more than one hundred others. Sculpted-profile The majority of custom keycap sets are sculpted-profile (Cherry, SA, MT3, KAT, etc. - more on profiles generally here) so let’s start there. Because each row has a unique keycap shape, alt layouts require a unique keycap for each legend that moves off its QWERTY row. At first there were two The Dvorak layout was patented in 1936 by August Dvorak & William L....

Pretty much all I'm asking is if I need to buy anything else besides the products listed above?
Specifically, If I get this kit, ditch the frame and put the PCB in my own case, what experience will I have, how snug are these hot swappable sockets? I would think they may have a little play in them.
I personally would drop the extra 15 and get this https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/stainless-steel-plate-for-xd75re-60-custom-keyboard-Mechanical-Keyboard-Plate-support-xd75re/3034003_32821198488.html?spm=2114.12010612.0.0.5bdadf474fAws1
BUT The question becomes if that plate supports as many cases as the PCB does.
I will be building an XD75 as my first ortho in a couple paychecks and I am using this case https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/stainless-steel-bent-case-for-xd75re-60-custom-keyboard-enclosed-case-upper-and-lower-case/3034003_32819638145.html?spm=2114.12010612.0.0.5bdadf47LWFZMo
