While we're on the subject, what is the QUIETEST mechanical keyboard type? I've taken a look at this in the past, but anything except vinyl rollout keyboards made way too much noise for me to consider it "silent". I even looked at the laser display keyboard that projects onto a surface, but after research I found out it does not do well unless you "peck" type.

My desk is the one thing in my house that has to be perfecly in order. My girlfriend makes sure everything else goes to hell...but she can't have my desk.

I can't keep my desk clean, either.

I treat my 3+ year old Vaio like a desktop since there was a deal on an 24" HP IPS monitor I couldn't pass up on.  Also absolutely love my new Ducky Shine mechanical KB.  If anyone was a majestouch 2 with backlight, this is the keyboard to get!

Then of course I have all my gear which is in my signature.

Just wondering but are you taking chem 131 at UCSD xD

Speaking of buckling springs, my Unicomp EnduraPro should be arriving tomorrow or the day after. None of this weak "tenkeyless" or "mouse" nonsense for me - I'm remapping right-shift and right-control to be mouse buttons. Huehuehue~


Definitely gonna be posting a new pic of my battlestation then (and later on, I'm planning on switching to a pair of 16:10 24" S-IPS monitors...).

ETA: that website you linked... PS/2 to USB? That is terrible. I like my NKRO, thank you very much.

I am happy with the silent from my FIiclo Majestouch Brown switch.

How are you liking the Saffire? I have the same model that I use as a DAC for a Meier Audio HA-2 MKII and for live theatre into a console. I think it is a great unit.

Not to mention, neither of those kinds of keyboards are mechanical.

I believe any non-Blue Cherry MX switch is quiet. Black Alps are also supposed to be non-clicky, as are Topres (although Topres are hybrid capacitive, not purely mechanical).

Mechanicals are going to make some noise, though. You want absolute quietest, you're probably going to have to go with capacitives (and even those aren't going to be silent - you'd need to make your keys out of some manner of sound-absorbing material). Look into build quality - loose keys are going to be noisier simply by moving more.

Too obvious isn't it?   It's really the class I haven't done a damn thing for so now I'm cramming for the midterm.  My quarter is just so busy and I just keep putting this class off.  Haven't gone to class since first week!

^ ahahahaha guess we are on the same boat xD. 

Nothing special... Sony Vaio F12, Audioengine 2, Meier Concerto, T1, HD595 and DacMagic...

Realforce Silent (Variable). I have never typed on anything quieter. I use a Realforce 55g myself (I need the positive feedback).

Looks good! Any issues with first reflections off side wall?

I like it!  Very cool. very simple. Very awesome! :)

I'm sold on Vaio quality. I think I will always purchase a Vaio in the future. A little more money, but well worth it.

Ugh, my only complaint about Realforce boards is that they're Topre, so they're beyond stupidly expensive. (Realforce 103s run for 270USD, Tenkeyless Silents for 350USD- wait, why am I paying more money for fewer keys?)
