Are there any quiet Model M type keyboards?

[Sukhoi]

I just want a simple rectangular keyboard. No internet buttons. I'd use my Model M at school but my roomate for next year is a 3rd degree black belt in Tai Kwan Do.

Oh, I know I can get what I want for $3, but those are a POS. I want a quality rectangular keyboard.

The buckling spring mechinism in Model M keyboards is what makes them loud

You won't find a keyboard today that does not use rubber membrane keyswitches unfortunately. So pretty much all keyboards today are going to have that cheap feel


Good luck on your quest, it will be a difficult one...

I've been looking at Newegg, but not seeing much of what I want. I guess I'll just get a cheap Logitech.

Oooh, thanks for pointing that out. I didn't know they produced a quiet version. If this cheapie from Newegg isn't any good I think I'm going to spend $45 for the quiet version.
