Quiet keyboard

Indy500 · 24 Nov 2007 at 00:16

I currently have a regular Logitech PS\2 keyboard which is incredibly noisy when typing. Looking for a quieter alternative (preferably one that is USB). Any suggestions?

TIA.

Not sure if its USB, however the Cherry Keyboards are apparantly quiet and good to type on.

I'v got the saitek eclipse II, which is a nice keyboard. It has pretty quiet keys.

It might depend slightly how hard you personally hit the keys, I've heard that laptop style keyboards such as the Saitek Eclipse 2 are pretty quiet but malc30 is a good man to ask about this. I'm still using an old, old Microsoft multimedia keyboard and I think it fantastic but isn't silent.

I use a laptop plug in keyboard that is about the width of my hand and it is quieter mainly because it has less of the drum effect a normal keyboard size has.

What you want is an apple keyboard with its fancy key action it is quieter I think

Maybe this

Another vote for the Saitek keyboard. Highly recommended

Speedlink Ultra Ally jobby.
Superb keyboard & i have Never used a better or more hard wearing set of keys for my FPS thrashing. I have just replaced my last one with an Identical one. The old one lasted well over 18 months of my BF2 & constant spammage.
Flush lap top style keys so your fingers never snag & although Not silent it is very quiet.
I picked it up for just under 20 quid but you will have to go elsewhere as no matter how many times i politely ask for a restock i am Ignored.

Get a projector keyboard - as quiet as your fingers can tap on your desk.
