I need a new keyboard

Have come to the conclusion I need a new keyboard - I have a beautiful 101-key IBM keyboard, circa '92, that I have used forever and love. The tactile response is fantastic. However, the damn thing is LOUD. When I really get typing, my wife says its sounds like a machine gun. Never a problem before, but now I have a 4-month old daughter in the house who doesn't sleep quite as soundly as my wife does.

What was I thinking, putting her in the room across the hall from my office?

If you can do USB, you might see if the keyboard I just bought for my Mac has something similar for the PC (or if this will work on your PC). It's got the same key style as the Powerbook laptops do, the low, flat keyswitch type. Nice tactice response, short key-throw, but not "chiclet" like. ;-)

Try it out Sat. night, while you're here.

Funny you mention that...

Just switched over to a USB KVM and I picked up a Logitech Internet Keyboard. Nice and quiet at night.
