    Cliff_Forster I use an ABS M1 mechanical. I absolutely love it. My wife hates it, but I just think its the most satisfying typing experience I have ever had. Loud sure, but there is just something satisfying about the clickity clack of key presses. What does that say about me?

    Annes Someone at work gave me a Das Keyboard. It is AWESOME.

    CB I would prefer if all keyboards would just STFU.

    AlexDeGruven Working in a cube-farm, I'm happy that we have reasonably quiet keyboards. Though, people who type with hammer-hands (like me) can make even the quietest keyboards echo through the floor.

    I do love the feel of clicking away on a Model M, though. Just wish I could get the feel + the silence.

    Cyclonite Just bought a Logitech K300. It's quiet. I <3 it.

    _k My home computer had a M keyboard for oh about 7 years. I think its still in a cabinet some place in case another cup of water goes into someone's keyboard /cough mom /cough. The Dell keyboard is actually fairly tough, I have so many of them sitting around I just throw them when I want them to go some place. So far the CRT hasn't broke and neither has the keyboard that lives on it.

    Thrax My original Logitech has just the right amount of click, and I love it. Quiet, mushy keyboards can shove off.

    Koreish I don't mind it if they make some noise but the ones we have at school are so damn loud. It really breaks my concentration.

    ardichoke My Logitech Wave keyboard has just the right noise to mush ratio as well. Not super clicky but a decent amount of resistance to the keys. That and it's probably the most comfortable keyboard I've ever used. So much so that I have one both at work and at home. That has never happened before with me.

Howdy, Stranger!
