K10 Max: Silent switches

Hi,

I recently bought a K10 Max keyboard (hot swappable version) with banana switches as my first mechanical keyboard. I really like the typing. However, since my desk is in the same open space as the living room, my family members are disturbed by the noise. So I am considering in buying different switches. But with all the options available, I can't see the forest through the trees anymore.

Which switches would you advice on buying, so that the typing experience is more or less the same, but are far more silent? Would the keychron silent switches for example be a big difference regarding sound, but have a similar feel (https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-silent-switch)? Or are there better choices?

Or are there other options to consider? I also read that o-rings could make typing more silent for example.
