a QUIET keyboard???

Oct 29, 2012

I know this is a little off-topic, but you all are so great about advice on laptops and other hardware, I figured maybe someone has some keyboard advice. I use a wireless keyboard when I’m at my desk, and need a new one. I have a Logitech and it’s really nice, but it’s sooooooo noisy. If I close my eyes while I’m working I’d swear I was on an old Selectric typewriter, clacking away. It drives me crazy. And it’s a huge problem when I’m on a call and trying to take notes.

I want a keyboard that is like my laptop keyboard – almost silentt (and I like the way the keys feel – but really, at this point, I don’t care about that, I just want something quiet).

Any suggestions? I’ve been to a few local stores, no luck – hoping you all can steer me in the right direction!

Hi, Sheila:

My mac wireless keyboard works quite well. Has a good feel. Not silent, but not loud either. (You wouldn't hear it on a call.) I can buy them at my local Best Buy store, I know.And of course, the Apple store.

You can use them on Window machines, if you download some stuff. Here's a link http://www.redmondpie.com/use-apple-wireless-keyboard-on-windows-with-full-functionality-using-apple-wireless-keyboard-helper/

Daniel, thank you! I am not an Apple user, so it never even occurred to me to look at their keyboards, but I will definitely head over to the Apple store this week and check it out!
