Pretty sure you can easily open a mouse up to remove its clicking mechanism.

oh i use that a lot. i even thought of buying this "button" you put on the floor and step on which in turn puts up a random screen

even with alt-tab, the clicking can arouse suspicion.

A silent mouse would have a good niche market.

I use the touchpad on my Macbook when my roommate is trying to sleep, it clicks silently. Not sure about a regular mouse though.

while you're at it...make a silent keyboard too. Even those that are out right now saying it's "quiet"...are not really quiet at all.

I'd totally buy a silent mouse and a silent keyboard.

Mighty Mouse?

I think the new Mac mouse has buttons that don't move. It can sense a tap on its surface.

 

[HeroOfPellinor]

Yup, here it is.

my "mouse" doesn't click, it is a trackpoint thingy.

I'd actually like a louder clicking mouse, and a keyboard that screams everytime I hit a key.

Or maybe a keyboard that shouts words of encouragement.

"Yeah you can do it!!!"
"You're in the zone!!!"
"It's Thursday, one more day till the weekend!!!"

Wow $80 for the keyboard mouse combo, seems rather expensive IMO.

It's been done, just not very well. Here's my review http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=30582

There's also been plenty of experimentations with making existing mice silent/quiet; there's some info in a FAQ I wrote (towards the end) here: http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=21152

Have you seen that keyboard that actually projects a keyboard onto the surface and senses where your fingers are? No keys to click, just tapping whatever surface it is projected on. I think it was around $100 or so.

My wife would like me to find a non-clicky mouse as well.

I paid $100 for my mouse/keyboard wireless combo.

Just get a USB touchpad and make sure tap-to-click is enabled.

Get a graphics tablet.
