        Same here, hahaha. I have these loud, leaf-spring keyboards that I use when nobody else is around (which is seldom), because they are loud as hell.

        (I have three such keyboards, all slightly different. This may indicate a "problem".)

            It's like tasting decent scotch for the first time. One can't then return to the whiskey equivalent of plonk.

            When I connect one of these to my MBP, my typing speed and accuracy roughly doubles. But that racket . . .

                Take a look at The Keyboard Company @Giles.

                http://www.keyboardco.com/

                If you want to get really geeky then there are different types of switches. I've got one with the Cherry Blues, which are like the old school IBM keyboards.

                And if you want an old IBM model, the Keyboard Company carries them.

                  I'd be going http://www.daskeyboard.com/daskeyboard-4-professional-for-mac/ in Cherry Brown  (less clickly, same feeling). Still like IBM feeling, and keeps the sanity of those around you :). I use brown @ work and blue @ home. Mrs Snowy wishes I'd bring the brown home 😛

                    I've got a BluetoothMajestouch Minila keyboard. I don't use number pads, so prefer a more compact design.

                          @tmg there's also a very nice wooden wrist rest for the Minila. Not that I'm trying to push you over the edge, or anything…

                            How can you run a business so incompetently, that one week you're running employees into the ground at 70+ hours a week and the next not have enough orders to produce a 40 hour week? I understand a port strike has had adverse consequences on business, but you can't honestly expect to keep people like this. Glad I'm already looking elsewhere
