I modded my Kinesis Edge with Holtite sockets to get hotswap capability.

I use Zilents on my daily driver. They're pretty quiet as far as mech switches go, but still a lot noisier than a standard laptop keyboard. No complaints so far.

It's too bad they don't offer them on the Edge, but if RGB lighting isn't essential they have the 'quiet red' switches available on the Freestyle Pro, which is basically the same model without the backlit keys.

I got the brown switches. They are quiet and mushy and I don’t like them.

But they are quit.

Also the arrow keys are mushed up with other keys and it’s hard to differentiate

My solution will be to use a headset, or separate microphone that is further away from the KB.
