For realism, it should integrate people making their calls in the open space, the guy right next to you chewing loudly with an open mouth, the heated design debate occuring 3 desks from you and the salespeople celebrating their bonus with a lot of volume. I do not miss the office.

You can't call yourself a tree geek unless you enjoy the sounds of keyboards :)
What's a tree geek?

I'm going to make the guess that you meant "True" in the "no true scotsman" way of passing off outsiders. Personally I find this kind dismissive commentary a little bit aggravating. In my mind you're a "true" geek if you unashamedly enjoy the technicalities of something. from Dungeons and Dragons to Train design. -- The parent is also a little distasteful. If you don't like the noise of a mechanical keyboard consult…
I recall a story about a developer who brought his mechanical keyboard to a job interview, to check if it is acceptable to other people in the office. That's quite considerable gesture.

> salespeople celebrating their bonus with a lot of volume This. The most (and least) challenging office I've ever worked in featured a large open plan that had the sales team adjacent to the engineering team. The sales team had a large ship's bell and not only would they ring it for every deal they closed, they would ring it once for every 10k of the deal! That plus they're general loudness drove the engineers crazy…
The jubilation of those who had made the target... MY GOD!!
It needs an option to amplify the typing noises to "I work with developers who insist mechanical keyboards are better" levels.

Reds aren't that new, they've been around for years. No tactile feedback, though, which is why many people (including me) don't prefer them.

No these are the "silent" reds. They don't make a sound when bottoming out and also not when coming back up. Regular: https://www.cherrymx.de/en/mx-original/mx-red.html Silent: https://www.cherrymx.de/en/mx-original/mx-silent-red.html
