The keyboard on the Clevo B5100M (Sager NP5125) is nearly silent and I'd love a wired one like that for a desktop.

The Zippy WK-7380 (scissor-switch, same as the Clevo) might be very close:

Their actual business is in making the switches themselves, but they also made assembled keyboards in the past. These have the shortest travel of all tactile keyboards. That's my preference; short distance, yet physical feedback, unlike a pure dome.
If you prefer more travel, like a mechanical keyboard, yet do want silence then a (hard-core) hall-effect keyboard would be great:

Have to desolder the speaker first and use a serial-to-usb adapter, but after that it's a perfect solution ( with colour-coded key-caps). Only need to find the pc that goes with it and we're back in style:
Heck, they had 'Design' licked when Apple was still dozing along:

I use the Corsair Strafe RGB MX Silent gaming keyboard. It has a USB through so that you can connect your mouse to the keyboard, and the palm rest can be removed if you don't want to use it.
I specifically bought it because whatever switches my old keyboard used (can't remember the model) were so loud that I was getting dirty looks from my wife.Last edited: Jan 8, 2018Mr. Fox likes this.
Are there any desktop keyboards as quiet as Clevo's?
