 yes, I recommend the clicky feel without too much sound- Gateron Browns are nice. 

The brands can vary and you can get into a rabbit hole with these things but you can get nice switches on a relatively inexpensive prebuilt

 wonderful, was just thinking about how much sound would the brown ones make, as i can't have it be too loud 
 Brown switches make no sound themselves. The sound comes from the key bottoming out. So if you type softly it's nearly silent.

I've been using a Dad Keyboard with brown switches for over a decade and I love it. 
 Das Keyboard* 🙃 Though it is totally a keyboard a Dad would use. 
 thought childrenless, i identify as a dad in my 50s 
 There's a youtuber called hippyotech that does great sound checks, you can get an idea from there
