Technical Advice please

My computer is in the living room.

The TV is in the living room.

I can happily read away without problems, but typing causes enough noise to piss off the people watching TV.

Can anyone recommend a quiet keyboard?

Comments

YES!

My brother got my dad this really cool indestructable keyboard for christmas. I've typed on it and it makes little to no noise at all, the only thing you have to get used to is the fact that it's made out of flexable rubber. (thus a little wonky on the fingers )

The name of the product is: the Virtually Indestructible Keyboard
and here is a site that gives a review of it.

http://www.fingerworks.com/ a no noise keyboard and mouse in one, this is the nearest you are going to get to S.T.N.G. and if you don't know the abreviation that just shows character.
P.S. I thought your beard/goaty thing looked very good on you, it gave your face a bit more length and depth.

Yeah, that's what I was going to suggest too. They take a bit of getting used to, but are the quietest keyboards I've ever used.

You can also do cool things like customise gestures for common tasks.

Yeah, I wanted to reprogram it to use fully chorded single hand input, using BAT keyboard from www.infogrip.de its the best keyboard concept in the world, but its clunky.

Very nice looking.

And about £200 more than I wanted to spend on a keyboard.

Maybe when they come down in price...

Not a chance I have been waiting over a year, also products in this Area keep there price, it's a small company which had to do the research. I cant think of any other touch pad which allows several points of contact simultaniously.
I will get one next year (wishful thinking)...

I got a cheap infra red one from pc world a while back, had a built in mouse thing as well. I think it was called airwave, or something. It was based around a laptop keyboard anyway, so was a lot quieter than most others I've used

i have a compaq keyboard, and it is very quiet..

but looks like dougs is designed to be quiet look there first, the other thing, is build some sort of acustic hood, for you hands..

or direct your keyboard away from everyone else..

My suggestion isn't cheap, but someone agrees with me, I feel warm all over now...

Alternately...
