Comments on KTT Rose switches
The KTT Rose is pretty smooth out of the box but you'd likely want to lube this switch to bring down the spring noise – beaverkeys.
The KTT Rose switch will be a great choice for you if you want RGB on your keyboard as it has an opaque top housing. However, based on my personal experience and comments from other enthusiasts in the community, it seems like opaque housings generally make the switch sound thinner – unikeys.
