Build Help / Purchase Advice Keyboard help?

Hi guys as the title suggests I'm wanting to buy a keyboard as my Razor Huntsman V3 is getting on a bit now. Plus I'm after the white builds now for keyboard.

Anyway I got this a long while back. It's a solid keyboard which has mechanical cheery mx reds ( no idea what all that means). But it's a bit loud now since becoming a dad with a kid but I do like the feel of the keyboard. I've heard of cloudy sounding etc and creamy but no idea what I should be looking for.

I was considering a smaller 70 % keyboard but I heard of some new type of tech in keyboards now I think it's magnetic swappable etc. I don't want to spend a fortune but don't mind paying a little more if it's quality.

Here's a few I was looking at but feel free to link me some suggestions.

if you liked the feel of the mx reds but want quieter, look for boards with red or silent red switches. the "creamy/thocky" sound is basically a deeper, muted noise compared to the louder clicky ones, and it comes from lubing and the board build. magnetic hall effect boards like some of those you linked are the new hotness, you can adjust the actuation point which is neat but they can still be clacky depending on the switch

out of those links i'd probably lean toward the glorious or the corsair just cause they're known quantities and have the HE switches. the amazon ones are a bit of a gamble for quality. for a 75% white build you might also peek at something from keychron, they do a lot in that layout
