My partner loves her GMK67 with outemu panda switches I built for her a while ago. Now that she has to go in the office she constantly complains how shitty the keyboards are.

What would you recommend for a low profile portable keyboard to give a similar experience the GMK67/Panda that is safe to throw in a backpack, but also a bit quieter for an office setting?

I was looking at the Nuphy Air60 since it has a case option, but I don't know what switch would be good, maybe Wisteria or Moss?

Also looked at the Keychron, but from the switch descriptions only the Mint and Banana sounded close to a switch I would want, but nothing is currently in stock in a 60% layout.

Am I looking in the right direction, or are there other recommendations?

I haven't fact checked this at all but apparently lowprokb.ca is working with Kailh on some choc v1 compatible silent switches which could potentially be used in those boards. Not sure when they'll be available though
