The matias quiet click arent really meant to be very silent. I think it alludes to the tactility of their clicky switch minus the click. Their quiet linears are dampened light linear switches, and sound less than most rubber domes.
Matias boards are just no-nonsense boards for typists. I dont like fiddling with my keyboard. No keycaps. No lubing. No swapping switches. I have done that. It is a distraction for me. I like typing on my matias board. When that dies I will get another one or maybe just use my old no-brand dome-with-slider keyboard (probably BTC) that I have used since 1994.
After five years, I gave up my Matias quiet click due to its abysmal reliability. I had three units during that period: my original and two replacements under warranty. I love the keyboard and their customer service. But the interruption and administrative hassle were too much.
I use a Leopold with Topre 45g silent switches now. It’s not as nice IMO but it works all the time.
You share that experience with what seems a lot of people. The quiet clicks seem to have chattering issues.
I have probably been lucky. A friend had one switch that chattered, but I opened it up and cleaned out some of the lube and it was fine.
That is why I usually recommend the clicky switches. They seem to not have that problem. They feel even nicer to type on IMO, but I am not the kind of guy to spend $150 on a keyboard when I have one that I like (a 2015 secure pro that never had issues).
