You cam build one or purchase a brand that has the option for “soft” keys. It’ll have the typing experience without the associated noise.
But maybe you’re looking at this the wrong way. As someone who’s had to deal with mechanical keyboard noise, it’s extremely annoying and only pleasant for the person using it. Like, even if no one raises a complaint be respectful lol
Do you have a particular reason or need for wanting to use it or do you just want everyone nearby to hate you? As someone who is senior enough for an office but sits near an open floor plan and hears every conversation and ding from Teams already, I’d complain before you finished typing out your first sentence.

Yeah, Jake at Gundo. We hear you! Please dont.

As others have pointed out, your coworkers will hate you.
But also FWIW, you’ll be speaking on / leading calls earlier than you think, and even the office issued keyboards can sometimes be heard on calls. Can’t imagine how loud a mechanical keyboard would sound, and many partners and clients will have 0 qualms about calling you out on the background noise. That will make it hard for you to take notes, ctrl+F deal docs to confirm talking points, or shoot off quick emails / IMs — all of which you’ll need to do on calls.
Lol no, I’m a 5th year. When I am in the office, which again is an OPEN FLOOR PLAN, I have my headset on literally all day. What do you think people do, take calls on speaker in a cubicle? Also, I have had my building fire alarm go off and not had it picked up on a call I was on. Get a better headset. Oh and can your condescension while you’re at it.

There are quiet/silent switches

That seems to be one of the quietest, but it also depends on the specific design. Ultimately it’s your coworkers who’s going to deal with it so maybe check with them?
I do—haven’t heard anything about it and would pretty much draw a line in the sand about it if I did. If they make us be in office, and then don’t give us actual offices, they can put up with some clicking. I will say that I worked in an open floor plan office before law school and there wasn’t nearly the same expectation of silence across the floor like there seems to be at my current office. Everyone just got noise canceling headphones and called it a day. I far preferred that to the library-esque culture I’ve got now.

Please don’t. Get a Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard and mouse if you need something better for your wrists.
Obviously don't get an obnoxiously loud keyboard if others can hear it and would be a distraction...
I used a mechanical keyboard in an open floor plan setting my whole first year. I got a keyboard with brown switches. They still have a tactile feeling, but aren’t particularly loud—people using the firm-issued keyboards often typed much louder than I did. There are also red switches, but they’re “linear” so don’t have any tactile or audible click (but that feeling/sound is what I like about mechanical keyboards, so I’m not a fan of red switches). Just avoid the blue switches since they automatically have a loud click—I use a keyboard with those at home and even though I love it, in an office setting I think it’d be way too much.
Get a quiet Logitech mechanical, it’s only the model Ms and their derivatives with blues that are loud
