Low profile key switches have the obvious advantage of being smaller than MX switches…but the problem is that silent options, especially if you’re into tactile switches, are seemingly nonexistent unless I’m missing anything?

I'm using the Kailh choc sunsets. They're not totally silent, but imo they're not louder than like mx browns. The sunsets are the best I've tried so far for quiet tactile lowpro switches.

This. As someone else mentioned, lowprokb.ca is currently working on a silent choc switch (called "ambients", I think)

Oh sweet! I'll have to keep an eye out for those.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
