I would start you out with keycron. Don’t think they make a Bluetooth split though. Realistically you just want a keyboard with silent red switches or buy a hot swappable keeb and switches
Keychron K2 or K12 if you’re cool with normal profile, but you have to buy the switches separate. K1/3/5/7 if you want low profile but less options for “silent”.
I would rethink what you mean by “silent” a low profile red switch keyboard is just as “loud” as a MacBook keyboard. If that’s not too loud then I’d just get a keyboard with red/brown switches (if you like tactile, #tactilegang)

If you decide to go the more custom route and put something together yourself, you can always adjust the acoustics to a fair degree based on your plate, switches, case, etc. There’s endless possibilities and the same number of videos showcasing sound and builds all over!
As above, Keychron is a great place to start for good quality and budget friendly builds.
