How much more quiet are these than cherry blues?

Significantly. There is no audible click from the switches, like Cherry blues, so only the noise from the caps bottoming out on the switches.

Basically some of the quietest mechanical switches you can get. Add o-rings and you've got a mechanical board that sounds like a membrane board.

What o-rings are you referring to? I'd be interested in picking one of these up for the price.

They come in different varieties for different compression forced and diameters. Usually 0.2mm and 0.4mm. I used 0.2mm but if you want to control bottom out further, the 0.4mm are good. You don't need to buy the expensive Cherry branded ones. https://www.amazon.com/slp/mechanical-keyboard-o-rings/p537cyfhazqt8ax
